The final design for the new park was developed with the help of community feedback. The park’s main features are a play area, various seating options, a shade structure (budget permitting), a ping pong table and an open lawn area. The park will have three entrances connected by pathways, with the widest path connecting Nairn Avenue and Rogers Road.
