"In Vaughan, we remain committed to safeguarding our natural environment and maximizing opportunities for residents to enjoy our city's parks, trails and other outdoor facilities. There are more than 230 kilometres of signed cycling and pedestrian routes as well as 705 hectares of City parks and tableland woodlots throughout Vaughan.
