Prince Rupert is a beautiful coastal city, and with anticipated population growth, there will be growing needs for parks, outdoor recreation, and public open spaces. The City of Prince Rupert is preparing Rupert Plays, Parks and Outdoor Recreation Plan to guide planning and decision-making over the next five to ten years.

Rupert Plays will identify opportunities to enhance the pedestrian experience along trails and the waterfront, locations for new parks, parks to upgrade, and connections between parks, other destinations, and surrounding communities. Another goal is to enable Prince Rupert residents and visitors to more easily enjoy the natural beauty of Kaien Island.

Rupert Plays will align with existing plans, and work towards the City’s vision of becoming a world-class port city that is vibrant, resilient, sustainable, and a place that the community is proud to call home. The planning process will include a review of existing parks and outdoor recreation amenities, visioning, and recommendations for improving the experience for all park and trail users.

Getting Involved:

Rupert Plays will be prepared through a five-phase process. Details on upcoming engagement opportunities will be shared here, as well as through the City’s social media channels. Stay connected and check back here for updates on this exciting project!

Community surveys are now closed, and our contractors are now working on finalizing the plan. Thank you to everyone who provided input on our many community surveys and events, and congratulations to Gracie Mason, the winner of our Youth Survey and a $100 Visa gift card!

Check out our Documents section for a summary of what community members said. Based on the feedback received in the survey, local workshops, and stakeholder interviews, our Plan contractors at Urban Systems will now be developing a final Parks and Outdoor Recreation Plan for the City, to be presented to Council in the Fall.
