The former Hillsdale Avenue Parkette is being expanded to a new 1150m2 park as part of a residential development project in the neighbourhood. The park will be located south of Soudan Avenue and north of Hillsdale Road. The park design will be developed with the help of community and stakeholder feedback and is proposed to include seating areas, an accessible walkway, and horticultural pollinator plants.
The timeline is subject to change.

Construction is underway with site services, concrete paving and site furnishings complete. Work continues on the planting and lighting areas ahead of the park opening in early fall 2022.
From July 9 to July 25, 2021 the City conducted an online survey to collect feedback on the three design options for the park. The objective was to identify the most preferred design elements and amenities and collect additional ideas from the community. The survey received a total of 562 responses.
Respondents were able to indicate their preference on the three design options shown.
In addition, respondents were able to provide more detailed feedback on each of the design options.
On July 7, 2021, 30 community members attended a meeting hosted by the local Councillor to learn about the design options for the new park. The project team collected feedback on the community’s park use and design ideas through a virtual question-and-answer session.
