Connectivity planning has been a major focus of McLaren Park 2020 Bond Planning and Vision Plan updates. As part of ongoing project scoping and outreach, Rec and Park staff held three focus groups in May 2025. Representatives from various organizations related to disability access and biking came to our Capital & Planning Division offices for 90 minute sessions and provided feedback on how they prepare to visit a park and use trails, experience while on trails and what information is most relevant to have on maps and signs in the park, and improvements that Rec and Park can make to our signs and other communication tools.
We thank all the participants as we learned so much from these diverse perspectives, and really enjoyed the conversations as well! We will be incorporating this input into an update of the McLaren Park map and new wayfinding and interpretive signage, which will be installed in late 2025 as part of the McLaren Trails construction project. We also plan to reference this feedback to assess and potentially update other communication tools, as well as our signs in other parks.
