Parks are an important part of our community. They are an essential element to promoting good physical and mental health.

We must ensure that active, usable parkland is a part of each new development. We must also continue to improve our existing parks. Lakefield, for example, should work with community partners to build a splash pad for young families and visitors to enjoy.

We must support the maintenance and expansion of our walking and bike trail systems throughout Selwyn to connect people to the various parts of our community and to allow people access to stores and services without having to rely on their cars.
