Keep the natural beach natural and do not reduce or groom/rake protected areas. Plants, driftwood, and plovers belong on Wasaga Beach

Proper motorsports. Be it Karting, Oval, anything. Not cheesy public karting. Lets get motorsports back into Wasaga... = Huge revenue drive

Charles Leclerc says:

A little concert hall would be nice. Something like Koerner hall in Toronto. Classical music, etc. Bring some culture to the city.

2 December, 2025

Charles Leclerc says:

Nightlife, a huge revenue builder. Let's get some fun places like Banana's on the strip. We need that vital lifeline. Multiple bars to hop.

mr common sense says:

A waterpark with attached accommadations will have people come and spend in the winter as well as summer, before collingwood builds one!

smatter than the ave says:

turn the arena lands into an indoor waterpark with a shuttle to the beach area

1 December, 2025

shimobruto says:

Wasaga needs an indoor waterpark near the beach area, donate the land to entice a waterpark operator to construct a waterpark, eg wolf lodge

SophieNicole MacLean says:

There should be an area with a Pier built into the water, so everyone including disabled people can enjoy feeling like they are in the Bay.

El Cameron says:

You're not planning a resort! People live &work, raise families, care for seniors, support wildlife protection. It's not Disneyland!

1 December, 2025

P says:

A long paved trail that is maintained and kept clean for all year access. Ideally located where the shore is in view but protected from sand

Revive the old drive-in!

27 November, 2025

Find local fitness leaders to do public beach classes on a big padded outdoor platform (like at a playground) right infront of the beach.

Leave the nesting site for the Piping Plovers and the Point in it’s natural state with a physical barrier like a boardwalk to mark the area.

26 November, 2025

Mary says:

Part 2- Architecture should reflect a mix of natural features and the colour and fun of the era (ex. the historical playland park entrance).

26 November, 2025

Mary says:

Part 1- Buildings styled after Wasaga's historical legacy not that of other, older small towns. Our heyday was in the 50's/60's

24 November, 2025

Woodford says:

The natural dune formations along the shores of Wasaga Beach must be protected. They offer valuable green spaces for homeowners to enjoy.

24 November, 2025

Rick Pauzé says:

The old Star arena to be used as a curling club.

Keep the lands given by the province as public space with ice rinks, outdoor amphitheaters, skating trails, community park/splash pad, etc.

The abandoned amphitheater in Beach Area 2 could be revitalized and used for summer theatre festivals, productions, and music concerts!

20 November, 2025

KM says:

Please consider traffic. Wasaga's density is getting too congested for local roads to handle. Too long to get from one end to the other

20 November, 2025

KM says:

If Wasaga takes over Beach 1, please keep the boat launch and improve it. The other launch is too difficult/small to get to in the summer

20 November, 2025

Phil H says:

Add an extension to the Main St bridge as a lookout/photo op? Lookouts on the bridge/beach/river/dunes could be mapped as an activity.
