Kitchener seeks input to create more inclusive and welcoming parks
Whether you use parks to gather, unwind, exercise, socialize, play, or celebrate, we want to hear from you. Let us know what a great park means to you! The City of Kitchener is continuing public engagement through Places and Spaces to inform our parks and open space strategy. We are now looking for feedback on a variety of topics, including accessibility, community gathering spaces, signage, and more, all working towards creating spaces that are more inclusive and welcoming for all.
Answer our surveys about:
- Meeting the growing need for parks downtown
- How park signage can be more useful and inclusive
- Making parks welcoming and easy to access for everyone in our community
Residents can also share their ideas about:
- How can we create park spaces that support community gathering and growth?
- What does an accessible park space look like for you or your loved ones?
- What can we do to help foster belonging in Kitchener parks?
- Which are the most accessible and welcoming parks you have visited? (map)
For feedback on accessibility, we are especially interested in hearing from people with disabilities, their loved ones and caretakers, as well as people who work with and for persons with disabilities. Help us understand the barriers in Kitchener parks so we can create more accessible and inclusive parks for all. Take our survey.
