Programs maximize the use of facilities, enrich the lives of residents, and strengthen social networks. Ontario's park facilities should be programmed to provide a range of recreational, cultural and educational opportunities that meet the needs of the entire community. As needs continue to evolve, we will respond by involving community members and organizations in programming, fostering a sense of ownership and increasing park usage, thereby creating a safer park environment.
