I agree with creating an Urban Provincial Park. Please make this park and all Urban Provincial Parks wildlife refuges with no hunting or trapping under any circumstances. Please work with www.ontariowildliferescue.ca and other animal rights organizations to keep this park a refuge.

Hugely supportive of this new Park. It is a model for how to increase access to nature, conservation, economic development and health benefits in Ontario.
This is a fabulous idea. There are already many hiking trails and significant wildlife areas in the proposed area. It would be a logical conclusion to preserve this land from development.
Please consider that these parks have been and should continue to be a hub for mountain bikers in the GTA. This area gets thousands of mtbers visiting every month and should be kept as a high priority usage for the future.

is this not already durham forest areas and open to the public to walk and protected through just that? what does changing it to a "park" do for it?
I live in Stouffville and work in Pickering this area is of great importance to me

Please create this park for the animals. Ban all hunting, trapping, and fishing. Work with www.torontowildlifecentre.com and www.nationalwildlifecentre.ca to create an educational program on how to live with wildlife in the area.

Protecting this land as a provincial park is especially important given recent threats to green spaces in Ontario. Additionally, the "urban" nature of the park is truly valuable to communities, and plans such as this should be implemented more widely throughout Ontario.
I am strongly in support of a provincial park in the Township of Uxbridge, but I am concerned that a recreational use park may involve activities that are detrimental to the area.

This is NOT what the people of Uxbridge want. From this link: https://www.ontarioparks.com/travel/background, recreational class is defined as: "- typically have good beaches, many campgrounds and lots of outdoor recreation opportunities.

As a resident of Uxbridge I am not in support of this proposal. We already have the green space, why introduce A Urban provincial park to attract more people to this area. With the increase of traffic comes increase of garbage, affects on our ecosystems, increase in our municipalities taxes.

Please build more mountain bike trails to make Uxbridge a world class location for riding. Please see links on how great trails help local economy.

We really need to allow mountain biking and gravel cycling in the new park. There needs to be proper planning for single track. The international mountain bike association IMBA is a great resource for planning sustainable trails.
For those of us who have been concerned about the future of the provincially owned lands formerly known as Gan Eden, the proposal to designate them as the beginning of a provincial park was encouraging news.

Thank you for the opportunity to provide input into the proposed regulation of a new recreational class provincial park. Ontario Nature recognizes the importance of providing access to experiences in nature for all.

I love the idea of setting aside this piece of land and protecting it as urban park.
I’d like to stress out that there should be a lot of protected areas and protected water features of ecological significance, not mostly trails or day use areas.
