A final design was developed using feedback collected during the community engagement process. Visit the design section for more information.
From September 3 to September 19, feedback on the proposed design options, including park features and amenities, was collected in an online survey. The survey received 413 responses. Overall, participants were generally supportive of both designs with a slight preference for Option B. A small number of respondents indicated they liked both options.

The final design for the new park was developed using community feedback. The survey feedback indicated that 49 per cent of community members agreed or strongly agreed that their neighbourhood has a lot of playgrounds. In addition, community members felt like the design should not include a playground and splash pad given the new park’s proximity to Lakeshore Village Park, which already has these amenities. An outdoor fitness circuit was added to the design in place of a playground.
Option B was the preferred design.
