The objectives of the project are to: -Improve the quality and broaden access to this community hub to meet community and user group needs. -Address the service delivery gaps based on the extensive community input solicited in the Master Plan. -Enhance accessibility standards in accordance with the highest published accessibility standards. -Address the functionality, condition, and use of the park. -Address recommendations from the Asset Management Plan. Project scope includes: -Soccer field upgrades -Drainage, site servicing, paving, grading, soft landscape, light fixtures -Lighted walkway connections, benches -Parking lot upgrades -Accessible play precinct, gazebo, picnic shelter -Tractor pull upgrades (new metal bleachers attached to new concrete pads. New lighting and poles for night time operation, and rehabilitation of the pull track. This will include repairing the sub base of the track and replacing the stone dust surface with new material) The community input received through the Master Plan has enabled effective planning to take place such as the adoption of a concept plan and detailed design works related to the soccer field lighting/sports amenities and parking lot upgrades. The Master Plan was a community based engagement initiative (ie. Recreation Committee, Public Open Houses, Local Residents, Soccer and Baseball Leagues, Community Groups ie. Agricultural Society, Optimist Club, etc.). The broad community input solicited resulted in a need to expand and renovate the park to meet the changing needs of the community. The project will make the park more multi-use and attractive to a variety of ages and enable an integrated service delivery approach to address gaps.
