All equestrians are encouraged to read this plan, as the policies within it will govern the use of this new park for the next twenty years. Your input is important.

If you don’t want to read this 51-page document in its entirety, the pages pertaining to which of the trails equestrian use is allowed on, and the conditions that apply (hint: it involves our horses wearing manure bags), can be found on pages 30 to 32. Please note that the “lots” mentioned translate to Trails B, C and E.

You have until January 26, 2025 to provide input. This will be the last opportunity for comment on the management direction for the Uxbridge Urban Provincial Park.
