Do you frequent our park, or any city park?  Parks, Forestry and Recreation want to hear from you! This survey City of Toronto Parkland Strategy survey, is the first of two.  This first one seeks your input on the amount of parkland currently available and how you use City parks.  This is anonymous survey and your reponses will be kept completely confidential.  It takes a mere 10 minutes to complete - shorter than a line up for your coffee ;-)  It will be open for your valuable responses from August 23rd to October 2nd, 2017.  Please take the time, it's important if you like our city parks.  This is your opportunity to help shape things.
