The design update reflects basketball multi-purpose courts, an Ultimate Frisbee field, a splashpad, and an off-leash dog park. Picnic tables, game tables, and park benches are distributed throughout. A central shelter and washrooms provide shade and convenience to families. Parking is expanded and relocated for convenience. A looped granular path connects park areas, trees and pollinator meadows will enhance the landscape. The park aims to be accessible, sustainable, and a hub for all ages to enjoy.
