Parks and Recreation (including Rec Centres)

Parks, recreation and cultural services are essential components of a vibrant and engaged community.  They significantly contribute to quality of life by enhancing relationships, promoting a sense of belonging, providing opportunities to participate in enjoyable activities, promoting fitness and health, developing the local economy, and protecting the environment for both present and future generations.

In the spring of 2016, the Township of Augusta initiated a process to review the Parks and Recreation Services offered to residents of the Township as well as the service delivery model with the objective of developing a multi-year Parks, Recreation and Culture Master Plan.

The intent of the Parks, Recreation and Culture Master Plan is to provide Township of Augusta with long term direction for the provision of parks, recreation and culture services to residents and visitors to the region. The Plan will consider the short and long-term future of current and future services in the context of the changing environment, needs and desires of its citizens and organizational structure and operation. The Plan will serve as a guiding document and provide the principles for recreational and cultural service delivery for both the immediate and longer-term future.
