This investment is part of the province's $200 million Community Sport and Recreation Infrastructure Fund (CSRIF). It is a province-wide initiative that helps communities revitalize local facilities, grow the economy and promote active, healthy living across Ontario according to Dave Smith, Peterborough-Kawartha MPP.

“Our government is delivering on its promise to support local communities with a $1 million investment for the Morrow Park upgrade. This project is vital for our residents, improving accessibility, extending the life of this beloved facility, and providing a Premier/Level A diamond for everyone to enjoy,” he said. "I'm thrilled to see this important funding come to our city, promoting active living and strengthening our community.”

This project focuses on a significant upgrade to Morrow Park, aiming to elevate its status to Premier/Level A. This upgrade extends the facility's overall lifespan while also enhancing local programming opportunities and vastly improving accessibility features. According to a Parks and Outdoor Recreation Facilities study, these improvements are directly aligned with meeting identified community needs.

“We're incredibly grateful to the Province of Ontario for this $1 million investment through the Community Sport and Recreation Infrastructure Fund,” said Mayor Jeff Leal. “Morrow Park is a cherished gathering place in our community, and these upgrades will ensure it remains a premier destination for sport, recreation and community events for years to come. Enhancing accessibility, extending the life of the facility, and supporting active living are all priorities for the City of Peterborough, and this funding helps us move forward on all fronts.”
