Summary
The following is a summary on the first round of engagement that ran in Summer 2024. You can find the full What We Heard Report in the Engage Reports section (located in the right-hand column of this page).
The engagement process took place from June 15 to July 29, 2024, involving over 400 in-person participants and 1,544 online visitors. Methods included community conversations, park pop-ups, an open house, and online feedback. Collaborations with local organizations and extensive outreach efforts were key components.
Here are some key themes:
Accessibility: Ensure pathways are accessible for all abilities. Develop inclusive playgrounds. Connect transit stop locations to the park.
Amenities & Infrastructure: Install accessible public washrooms and drinking water stations. Add more seating, picnic tables, shaded areas, and regular maintenance.
Gathering Space: Create inviting areas for family and community gatherings with picnic areas, BBQ grills, and fire pits.
Nature and Relaxation: Enhance the park’s natural beauty with more trees, native species, and walking paths.
Recreational Activities & Facilities: Offer diverse recreational activities, such as spray park, skateboard park, and upgraded sports amenities.
Safety and Security: Improve lighting, signage, and regular maintenance. Increase patrols and surveillance to ensure safety.

A large and safe kids park, perhaps a splash park or wading pool. A paved walkway all the way around the park would be nice too.
