In this phase of community engagement process, the project was introduced and a survey was available to collect preliminary ideas and preferences from the community on the features and activities for the new parkette.
The project is complete.
An online survey was available from August 23 to September 15, 2021 to gather thoughts and ideas about the new parkette from the community. The survey received 599 responses, which included input from 1,168 participants of various ages.
The feedback from this survey will help the project team develop concept plan options, which will be shared with the community for further input.

From November 10 to November 24, 2022, an online survey was available to collect feedback on the two design options for the new parkette. The survey received 263 responses. The project team will use this feedback to help inform the development of a preferred design.
When asked to provide an overall preferred option, more than half of respondents (59 per cent), preferred design option 2, compared to 37 per cent of respondents who preferred design option 1, and 4 per cent of respondents who did not know/preferred not to answer.
On November 17, 2022, the project team held a pop-up event on Mount Pleasant Road, south of Broadway Avenue, from 3 to 5 p.m. Approximately 35 community members provided feedback on the design options for the new parkette and learned more about the project.
Preferences were split between design options, with equal support for Design Option 1 and Design Option 2.
On November 10, 2022, the project team shared two design options based on community comments. Feedback on these designs was collected.

In this phase of community engagement, the final design for the new parkette will be shared with the community on this page and with those subscribed to the project mailing list.
The final design for the new parkette has been developed based on community feedback with consideration to site conditions and constraints, and the operational requirements for the park.
The playground design includes a new play structure for ages two to 12, a basket swing, a multi-user spring toy, and an activity panel.
The City is building a new municipal parkette at 176 Broadway Ave. (formerly 174-180 Broadway Ave.), near Mount Pleasant Road and Broadway Avenue. The parkette design will be developed in consultation with the community. Budget, site limitations and operational requirements will also be considered throughout the design development process.
A visioning survey was launched in 2021 to gather preliminary thoughts and ideas about the type of features people would like to see and activities they would like to do at the new parkette.
The feedback received helped the project team to determine the primary scope of features for the parkette, which include:
