Regional and Municipal Parks

Over the years‚ the municipalities acquired lands to create the present Regional Park system.

Once acquired, public lands within the park will be re-designated as open space and natural resource and zoned regional park. Lands outside the park will be designated and zoned for development as appropriate.
