We are working with the Killarney Glengarry Community Association to build a temporary pop-up park for the Summer of 2025, with new games, art and seating for the community to enjoy. The pop-up park is located just south of the Killarney Aquatic & Recreation Centre on 19 Avenue between 29 and 30 Street SW.
The Westbrook Communities Local Area Plan wants “to ensure that residents of the Westbrook Communities have equitable access to a wide variety of public spaces that serve not only active and passive recreation needs for all ages and abilities through all seasons but also enhance environmental quality.”
The temporary Killarney Summer Park Pilot Project responds to this objective and will provide new opportunities for playing, socializing, relaxing, and gathering in the Killarney neighbourhood.
Therefore, The City is re-investing back into the community from the Local Area Plan Investment Fund to bring these improvements.
We are asking the community to share how they are using the park over summer by uploading pictures and stories below. That information will inform next steps for this pop-up, other parks in Calgary and potential long-term improvements for this park.
A pop-up park involves activating a public space with temporary elements such as games, seating, and art that the public can use on an interim basis. Pop-up parks can be changed and modified throughout the project to adapt to what we learn people like to use, or if elements need to be modified/ or moved.
This small, pop-up park created next to the Killarney Aquatic Centre will be for interim (temporary) use only, to create added recreational and play spaces in the short term. The play elements will be in place until Fall 2025 and re-evaluated at that time.
A "What We Heard" report will be presented here showing what we heard from the public.
A "What We Did" report will be presented here showing The City response to the feedback we heard.
