City of Peterborough staff will be available to answer questions about the project. Residents can provide feedback on the amenities they would like to see in the proposed park improvements.  

A public survey is available online. Hard copies of the survey are available at City Hall and is open until 11:59 p.m. on Oct. 7. 

The Morrow Park Ball Diamond is currently a Level B diamond. Improvements will bring it to a Premier/Level A diamond, including a tension netting mesh backstop and screens, new dugouts, outfield and line fencing, batting cages, irrigation, accessible aluminum bleachers with a media box and sports field lighting to provide consistent light levels across the ball diamond.  

The improvements will extend the facility’s overall lifespan, enhance local programming opportunities and improve accessibility features. The asphalt parking lot will also be rejuvenated.  

Work is expected to be completed in 2026. 

The Ontario government is investing $1 million to help upgrade Morrow Park announced back in mid-July. This investment is part of the province's $200 million Community Sport and Recreation Infrastructure Fund. It is a province-wide initiative that helps communities revitalize local facilities, grow the economy and promote active, healthy living across Ontario.

Residents with questions or concerns can also call 705-742-7777 ext.1829.
