        In this phase, the City collected feedback from the local community to understand their vision for the new park, including a draft vision statement and guiding principles that will inform design options in Community Engagement Phase 2.

        Vision Statement

        The new park at 40 Grenoble Drive will be a vibrant, welcoming green space where people of all ages can come together to relax, play and connect with nature. It will include safe play areas, spaces for sports and recreation, and peaceful places to unwind. With trees, shaded seating and areas for gathering, the park will support community connection, well-being and inclusion. 

        Guiding Principles

        The park should be: 

        • Inclusive and accessible: welcoming and easy to use for people of all ages and abilities
        • Safe: with lighting, clear sightlines and comfortable gathering spaces
        • Sustainable: supporting nature, trees and biodiversity
        • A community hub: encouraging social connection and belonging
        • Supportive of active and passive recreation: balancing play, sport and relaxation
        • Supportive of wellness and mental health: promoting physical activity and calm spaces
        • Reflective of art and culture: celebrating local identity
        • Equitably designed: providing quality space in a high-density neighbourhood
        • Supportive of stewardship and learning: encouraging care for the park and environment
        • Easy to maintain: durable and resilient over time

                        Community Engagement Meetings and Events

                        September 2024

                        Online Thought Exchange Activity

                        From September 2 to September 15, an online thought exchange activity collected 99 thoughts and 1,000 ratings from 125 participants on the vision for the park.

                        Review a summary of the September 2024 Thought Exchange activity results.

                        In this phase, the City and its design consultant will work off the outcomes of Community Engagement Phase 1 to develop two design options for the park. These will be presented to the community for feedback that will be used to develop a preferred design for the park.

                        The anticipated community engagement activities in this phase include:

                        • an online survey
                        • in-person pop-up event

                        The anticipated outcome of this phase is a preferred design.

                        In this phase the City will share the preferred design for the park with the community on this page and with those subscribed to the project mailing list. Once the preferred design is confirmed, it will guide future park improvements.

                        The anticipated outcome of this phase is the refined preferred design.
