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.

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.
In this phase, the City and the design consultant will develop design options for the park improvements. The City will share these options with the community for feedback, which will help shape the preferred design.
The anticipated outcome of this phase is the selection of a preferred design.
The community engagement activities anticipated in this phase include an online survey.
From July 7 to July 21, an online survey collected 187 responses with feedback on the proposed park improvements.
A summary of the feedback will be posted on this page.
In this phase, the City and the design consultant will build on the outcomes of Community Engagement Phase 1 to develop a preferred design for the park improvements. The City will share this design with the community for feedback, which will help shape the final design. The project will then move into the detailed design phase, where the design team will work through the technical details and plans for the construction contractor.
The anticipated outcome of this phase is the refinement of the preferred design.
The community engagement activities anticipated in this phase include an online survey.
