Servicing & Site Preparations

The next stage of park development is in motion. This stage of construction will prepare 52 hectares (130 acres) of the park for future development of new recreational facilities and amenities. To prepare this site for the future, the scope of work includes:

  • site grading and stormwater management site grading and stormwater management site grading and stormwater management site grading and stormwater management
  • installation of underground services (water, storm, sanitary, electrical, gas and telecom) installation of underground services (water, storm, sanitary, electrical, gas and telecom)
  • reconstruction and extension of the current park roadway, in addition to creating a second park access from Keele Street
  • environmental restoration, enhancement, and connection of the existing pond, wetland, and habitat areas

 

Environmental Restoration

As part of this work, environmental restoration is a priority. This will include removing current trees, grasses and shrubs which will be replanted in a way that improves the ecosystems onsite. All work is being completed in coordination with the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry, and the Toronto Region Conservation Authority.

 

Construction Underway

Construction is underway and will take place in stages. It is expected to be completed by early 2024. Different areas of the park will be closed to the public with onsite signage and fencing during each stage. The existing parking lot, artificial turf fields and pavilion will remain open throughout the construction.
