Be Active

Brockton will be a community where residents and visitors participate in a wide range of recreation and leisure activities, offered in parks, facilities and programming to enjoy a vibrant, engaged and healthy lifestyle.

Mission:

• To enhance the quality of life and liveability for residents and visitors by offering parks, facilities and programs that maximize community benefit through participation.
• To enhance the capacity of recreation staff, community organizations and public agencies as sustainable and vibrant contributors to recreation and leisure services.
• To support the renewal of, and reinvestment in, parks, recreation facilities and open space to ensure high quality and sustainable venues.
• To provide recreation and leisure services which are sustainable, flexible and affordable in response to changing demographics and recreation trends.
• To improve economic development and residential development opportunities by investing in programming and facilities within the municipality.

The Municipality of Brockton is currently beginning the process of updating the current Recreation Master Plan. 

The Municipality created a Recreation and Leisure Services Master Plan in 2011, which incorporated the previous "Fun, Fit Brockton" 2009 plan, the 1990 Town of Walkerton's five-year recreation development plan, and the 2010 Brockton Municipal Complex Study from 2010.

The focus of the 2011 Master Plan was establishing a framework for decision making, investments and staffing for all recreation and leisure service components from 2011 through 2031.

The Plan is intended to establish specific action plans for:

• parks, trails, horticulture and open space
• recreation facilities and services delivery
• the existing municipal campground (Lobies Park)
• finance, management and staffing

The Plan gives staff tools to meet objectives and adjust them accordingly based on changing demographics, trends, and resource availability.
