Over the past several years, the Town has strategically acquired six hectares of parkland in Craigleith from Windfall, Second Nature, and Blue Vista development sites. This land was gained through the parkland dedication included in each development agreement. The intent is to transform the land into a regional community park for all to enjoy.

To launch the project, the Town has started to identify infrastructure necessary for planned improvements, such as parking and public washrooms, and will be consulting with residents and the broader community to hear what recreational and natural elements will best serve residents.

Why Now?
There is potential for the development of the community park to run concurrently with home construction happening at the Blue Vista development site. Aligning these projects would help reduce future construction disturbances once homes start to be occupied.
