Trinity Bellwoods Park is a popular destination for relaxing, exercising and socializing, as well as a central route for walkers and cyclists. The City is conducting a study to assess the park’s pathways and entrances and consider how to improve functionality, connectivity, accessibility and the overall experience of navigating the park.
Through site analysis and community and stakeholder engagement, the Study will explore short-, medium- and long-term recommendations to enhance access and circulation while protecting the park’s natural environment. These recommendations will guide future pathway and entrance improvement projects, which will be delivered in phases after the Study is completed.
The timeline is subject to change.

This project has been classified as an Involve project based on the International Association for Public Participation Spectrum. This means we work directly with the public, stakeholders and rightsholders throughout the process to ensure that ideas and aspirations are understood and considered in the study.
In this phase, the City will gather feedback from community members, the Community Advisory Committee and stakeholders on their experiences with the park’s entrances and pathways, as well as suggestions for improvement.
This input, along with findings from a public life study and a detailed site analysis of the park, will inform draft recommendations for access and circulation improvements, which will be shared in Community Engagement Phase 2.
The community engagement activities anticipated in this phase include:
The City will conduct a public life study to observe real patterns of activity and understand how people access and navigate the park’s pathway network. This study will provide data on how busy different areas are and inform improvements to pathways, entrances and overall movement within the park.
In this phase, the City will build on the outcomes of Community Engagement Phase 1 by sharing draft recommendations for park access and circulation improvements with the community, Community Advisory Committee and stakeholders for feedback.
This input, along with technical and feasibility considerations, will help refine the recommendations, which will be shared in Community Engagement Phase 3 in the final report.
The community engagement activities anticipated in this phase include:
In this phase, the City will share the refined recommendations for park access and circulation improvements in a final report on this page and through the project mailing list. These recommendations will guide future pathway and entrance improvement projects, which will be implemented in phases based on priority and available funding after the Study is completed.
