Resources > Friends of West Lansing Parks
This volunteer group works through the West Lansing Homeowners Association, in conjunction with other local volunteer groups, and support from www.ParkPeople.ca for the benefit of our community’s local parks and green space.  Involvement is open to all who wish to participate.

West Lansing is fortunate to enjoy 3 parks (Gwendolen Park, Albert Standing Park and Franklin Park), 2 schools (Cameron Public School and St. Edward Catholic Elementary School) and the Stuart Greenbelt, within it’s boundary.  West Lansing is also adjacent to the wonderful West Don River ravine system, including the Don Valley Golf Course, and Earle Bales Park.   

The group is committed to make the most of these treasured resources.  They work with residents and other stakeholder groups to explore ideas to address challenges and make improvements.  They seek out and leverage various available programs grants or programs.  They advocate change.  Your input is needed and valued.
