Do our parks 'miss the mark'?
This online discussion forum has been suspended pending the next draft of the Plan. You can still browse the site but the discussion area will not currently accept new comments or votes.
Some people feel that Heritage Ranch ‘misses the mark’ because of its equestrian focus and isolated location. How can we improve our existing parks so that they remain relevant and useable for Red Deerians and tourists?

Keeping our parks clean and beautiful

Communities like Tofino, BC are banning smoking in parks to reduce the litter associated with cigarette butts. While The City is not considering an outdoor smoking ban in parks, we would like our parks to remain clean and beautiful. How can we expand or improve our efforts to encourage Red Deerians to respect nature within our community?

Just what, exactly, is a park?
This online discussion forum has been suspended pending the next draft of the Plan. You can still browse the site but the discussion area will not currently accept new comments or votes.
Is it a playground with swings, a place to have a picnic with family on a warm July day, or a trail where you can escape from your hectic life? When The City talks about parks, we’re often talking about a lot of things. When you think of the word park, what do you see?

The park and trail system is home to several outdoor gyms and a wheelchair accessible playground. What else would you like to see in the park system to make it more accessible for all Red Deerians?

The possibilities are endless. Next stop: Sylvan Lake?
A key part of the River Valley & Tributaries Park Concept plan is connection through the trail system to other municipalities. What are some of the benefits and drawbacks of having a trail system that connects to other municipalities?
