Rupert Plays: Parks and Outdoor Recreation Plan

Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Linkedin Email this link

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: NEW Online Surveys Now Open!

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!

Our initial community survey closed September 30th, but we're currently in the process of our second round of surveys for both Youth and Community - which close May 31st. Youth who enter our survey are eligible to win 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 options and recommendations to the City for consideration as part of a final Parks and Outdoor Recreation Plan.

Timeline

The planning process will provide opportunities for input to identify the community’s interests and priorities. Over the next 12 months, there will be a variety of opportunities for community members to participate in the planning process.
