In Fall 2021, the Town started the detailed design for Whitby's newest local park located on the west side of Coronation Road, south of Taunton Road. The proposed park will help serve a diversity of ages and abilities of the growing community for years to come.
Whitby's newest local park opened to the public in December 2023.
Park features and amenities included in the design include:
playground with engineered wood fibre surfacing
sand play area
shade shelter
multi-skills court
sports field
walking trail with bench rest areas
tree planting
Planning Background
The Town has four different Park classifications including Town, District, Local and Parkette; all of which serve a different function and contain different park elements and amenities.
A Town Park has major facilities and contains community centres, arenas, swimming pools and lighted athletic fields and is intended to serve the recreational needs of the whole community.
A District Park is designed to serve the recreational needs of a larger neighbourhood or series of neighbourhoods. They are for primarily active recreational uses including lighted athletic fields, playgrounds, courts and parking areas. Various sport user groups rely on District Parks to undertake the various sports programming for youth minor sports across the community.
Local Parks such as this one and smaller Parkettes are intended to serve the recreational needs of the immediate neighbourhood for active and passive recreational uses. Local Parks contain sports fields, playgrounds, courts and walkways. Smaller Parkettes normally contain playgrounds, seating areas and walkway
