Public input is being gathered for proposed improvements to Keith Wightman Park, Glenn Pagett Park and Whitefield Park. Planned improvements will focus on creating inclusive, accessible spaces that all residents can enjoy.
Each park project includes new amenities and enhancements designed around the needs and priorities of the surrounding neighbourhood and those who use the spaces every day.
Community input will play an important role in guiding the final plans. Residents can share their ideas by completing an online survey or attending a public drop-in session for each park project.
“Parks play a vital role in bringing people together, supporting active lifestyles and creating spaces where communities can thrive,” said Otonabee Ward Councillors Lesley Parnell and Kevin Duguay. “This is an opportunity for residents to directly shape the future of their neighbourhood parks. We strongly encourage everyone to take a few minutes to complete the survey or attend a drop-in session. Your input will help ensure these spaces reflect the needs, ideas, and priorities of the people who use them every day.”
