Gourley Park Redevelopment

Most park amenities are at the end of their lifecycle and require replacement. The Gourley Park redevelopment project will involve a full replacement of park amenities. Most amenities will remain in their current locations but will be upgraded to current municipal standards. A public engagement strategy will include opportunities for input throughout the design process.

The project scope will include:

• Replace the existing walkway and lighting between Duncairn Crescent and Brigadoon Drive.
• Replace existing asphalt walkways within the park.
• Replace existing play structures and swings. Working with the public to determine playground theme and components.

• Replace existing lighting.
• Add more seating throughout the park and around the playground and spray pad.
