The Town of Innisfil's Innisfil Beach Park (IBP) Master Plan sets a bold, long-term vision to revitalize our largest urban park. The IBP Master Plan provides a guide for ongoing investments in the park, which will result in new gathering and social spaces, cultural programming opportunities, and enhanced natural resources.
Our vision
Our vision is to make Innisfil Beach Park:
- An accessible space where residents and visitors feel welcome
- A connection between Lake Simcoe and Innisfil's downtown commercial area
- Vibrant and well-utilized all year round
- Sustainable with enhanced natural features
The plan outlines a vision for four unique areas in IBP, each with different activities and purposes.
