The new park is open. Thank you to all the community members who provided their feedback throughout the engagement process.

 

Dawn Redwood Park is a new 746 m2 park located at 100 Broadway Ave., on the northeast corner of Redpath and Broadway Avenue. The park’s wayfinding name was established under the City’s Property Naming Policy and refers to the dawn redwood trees planted in the park. Although these trees were present in North America millions of years ago, they were only known through fossils until their rediscovery in the 1940s.

  • Inviting and resilient sculptural wood seating
  • Display planting mounds for visual enjoyment and wind mitigation
  • A decorative lighting program
  • A pedestrian path system through the park to improve overall access
