comments as we begin creating the preliminary design concepts.

The land that the park will be built on was acquired by theTown through the development review process a number ofyears ago, and now that there are a significant number ofpeople living in the area, it is time to complete the processof adding this public amenity.

This park will include a number of features that are intendedto make it a key addition to the neighbourhood, attracting allages, these include:

Natural Playground

Trail Connection

Open Play Area Toboggan Hill

Bike Racks

Enhanced Crosswalks
