Pelham's recreational successes
Pelham stands as a proud golf destination, a true recreational success story. Our community enjoys exceptional facilities that attract visitors and provide residents with prime opportunities for sport and leisure. We are committed to maintaining and enhancing these beloved recreational spaces for all to enjoy.
Connecting our community through trails
We are dedicated to creating safe and accessible trail connections that link our communities. A key initiative includes establishing a safe trail connection between Fonthill and Fenwick. We also aim to complete the trail loop through the Fonthill Lions to the railway spur trail, providing continuous pathways for walking, cycling, and exploring our beautiful surroundings.
Expanding parkland and sports facilities
Our plans include adding another full-scale and capable soccer field to meet the growing demand for sports facilities. We are also committed to ensuring the future of more parkland and playing fields for East Fenwick. We firmly believe in protecting our green spaces and oppose trading parklands for cash with developers.
Promoting sustainable land use with ALUS
We promote joining Alternate Land Use Systems (ALUS) to promote the use of idle lands for environmental benefits. This initiative aims to increase forest cover, create biodiversity, and establish wildlife corridors, while also providing a small rental income to participating property owners. It’s a win-win for our environment and our community.
