Accessibility, Safety, Comfort and Usability
As parks and playgrounds are updated for accessibility, update Town inventories and webpages to include the new information. Provide shelter (in the form of tree planting) and seating at all parks, that is adequate for the amount and type of use. Provide lighting during the shoulder seasons and winter months at parks that host activities year-round. Naturalization and Tree Planting Implement managed naturalization practices, consulting with the community before embarking on projects. Provide educational signage about the benefits and methods of naturalization, along with warning signs for ticks.

Provision and Access
Adopt the updated parkland classification system.
PCT 7
Leftover landscaped spaces such as awkward slivers of land, boulevard mediums, round-a-bout centres, or traffic island gateway features should not qualify as park space as part of parkland dedication from developers. New parkland should be located with consideration of the access map (Figure 4-2), to provide parks or trails to those in areas who are not currently within 800 metres of an existing park. Parkland from new developments should include at minimum a Community Park in each area.
