Riley Park will be undergoing infrastructural upgrades to introduce an oil & grit separator as part of a Water Resources project.

To collaborate and provide value to this concrete slab, this project proposes to provide a flexible patio space with moveable seating (e.g. picnic tables, chairs, tables, etc.) with a small cafe (complete with a washroom) that can provide food and beverages.

This option was highly supported in the first round of EAGCS engagement by the community.

• Ensure operational requirements of oil & grit separator are met (maintenance access).
• Provide vibrant and comfortable seating options on patio space.
• Café must meet the requirements of most startups (e.g. electrical, washrooms, potable water, secure when locked up).
• Good sightlines from the main pathway in the NW corner of the park.

• As per the first Phase of Engagement, What We Heard is that you prioritized improvements to Riley Park with a Café and patio space.
• In coordination with Water Infrastructure upgrades, we are creating a multi-purpose space complete with a patio and café to provide food and beverages.
• This includes a basic enclosed café with seating, a washroom, and storage space which hold moveable chairs, tables, umbrellas and tents.
• This space could also be bookable for events.
