Upgrades include walking trail improvements, lighting, and a new pavilion
Members of Lakeshore Council toured the newly upgraded St. Clair Shores Park (200 Amy Croft Drive) this week. The park, which recently reopened after construction earlier this year, saw a suite of improvements.
Upgrades to the park include:
- Lakeshore’s first implementation of solar-powered bollards to provide lighting along the new asphalt walking trail.
- Accessibility improvements to the play area, picnic tables, and benches.
- Painted playground structure and enlarged play area with fall-safe surface.
- New asphalt basketball court, with line painting and nets (backboard, rim, and net) to be installed.
- A new pavilion structure on an accessible concrete pad.
- New grassed berms, shade trees, waste receptacles, and a large open play area.
- New concrete pads, with benches to be installed.
“Public spaces and parks like this one improve the quality of life of our residents and visitors, and we are thrilled to see these improvements at St. Clair Shores Park,” said Mayor Tracey Bailey. “We appreciate everyone in the neighbourhood who provided their feedback on the park. Feedback from neighbours and park users is critical to ensuring that our investments meet the needs of the community.”
The design of the park also includes the potential future addition of a dry pond, which is a type of stormwater management feature that allows for the temporary storage of stormwater to help reduce flooding during rainfall events.
Earlier this year, Council awarded the tender for park construction with a total project cost of $386,643.26, which included community engagement, design, and construction.
