Doctors McLean District Park

Through public engagement, the City has identified residents’ priorities and vision for this cherished park’s redevelopment, which will include a new picnic shelter with seating, a new splashpad, an adventure playground, trails, a pedestrian bridge over the Humber River, a lookout with seating, interpretive signage and naturalization plantings. All new elements improve accessibility to, and within the park, including accessible rubber safety surfacing, playground elements, the splashpad, seating and trails.

The design integrates with the natural setting of Doctors McLean District Park and celebrates the rich history of the area and its location within the Woodbridge Heritage Conservation District. It also includes a key link in the Vaughan Super Trail and Humber Trail network, with new trails that will connect the existing Riverwalk, from Woodbridge Avenue, north over the Humber River, to Clarence Street. These improvements are being partially funded by the Province of Ontario.

What's next?

Construction is expected to start in June 2025 and be completed in 2026, with the new trails opening in 2027. To safely complete the work, the park will be closed during construction.
