The City is improving Jack Goodlad Park with proposed upgrades to the splash pad, playground, basketball courts, bocce ball courts, lighting and associated pathways. The existing single-spray splash pad will be replaced with a larger splash pad with new water play features, and two new basketball courts will be added. The park design will be developed through community engagement.

    • Fall 2024: Hire a design team
    • Summer 2025: Community engagement on schematic design options and design development
    • Fall 2025: Detailed design
    • Winter 2025/2026: Contract documents and obtain permits
    • Spring 2026: Hire a construction team
    • Fall 2026: Construction starts
    • Winter 2026: Construction complete

    The timeline is subject to change.

    Online Survey

    Summer 2025

    An online survey will be posted on this page in the summer. The survey will ask for your feedback and preferences for the splash pad, playground, courts and park design options. The design team will use this community feedback to develop the final park design.

    The results of the survey will also be shared on this page.

    Level of Engagement

    This project has been classified as a Consult project based on the International Association for Public Participation Spectrum. This means we collect and consider public feedback on proposed design options to inform the development of a final park design.

    The Jack Goodlad Park splash pad, playground, basketball courts and bocce ball courts are located on the west side of the park, close to Pharmacy Road.

    There are currently two basketball courts and four bocce ball courts. The splash pad currently includes a single spray nozzle on a concrete base.

    The playground currently includes:

    • two swing sets, with:
      • four swings for ages two to five
      • four swings for ages five and up
    • three climbing structures with slides and monkey bars
    • a jungle gym climbing structure
    • spring rider toys
    • a spring seesaw
    • sand under all play areas

    The new play equipment and pathway connecting to the playground area will comply with the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA). Learn more about how playgrounds are made accessible.
