Wallace Park improvements are now complete!
Amenities included in the proposed design include:
New playground equipment
Engineered wood fibre surfacing
New benches
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 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, walkways and in some cases splash pads. Smaller Parkettes, such as Wallace Parkette, normally contain playgrounds, seating areas and walkway.
Get Involved
Complete a short, online survey between now and April 6.
Next Steps
Feedback collected will help to inform the final park features.
