Your voice is important!

Last year, we asked for your feedback, ideas and preferences for park features and designs.

  • What area should the playground go in and what features should it have?
  • Where should trails move through the space?
  • How do you want to use open space in this park?
  • What does this park design need to meet the needs of the people in this neighbourhood?
  • What is special about this area that the new park can reflect and enhance?

Over 100 people shared their thoughts with us to help us create a park this neighbourhood can get excited about!

Read the design ideas engagement summary

We've reviewed that feedback and created design options to make your ideas come to life! Now we need your feecback on the design concepts.

How can I participate right now?

Thanks to everyone who shared feedback on the playground design options between March 3 and March 25, 2026. You can have a look at the two design options below.

We'll use that feedback to create a final design for construction slated for the summer of 2026!
