The Master Plan describes the central themes that create the 'urban paradise' feeling in Harrison Park, including slopes, meadows, and water courses that create the famous scenery, and encourages all design decisions preserve those features.
The trails network within Harrison Park is of prime importance to the function of the park, and a main visitor attraction. They are also an important link between the Sydenham River Trail and the Inglis Falls Trail. The study recommends further developing the trail system to improve these links.
