City supports community safety with temporary closure of Frontenac Park

Effective July 2, 2025, the City will temporarily close Frontenac Park, beside the Adelaide St. Shelter (38 Cowdy St.) and lease it to Lionhearts to ensure that Lionhearts can safely use it for the expansion of day services. The closure will remain in place for at least six months, or until the winddown of services at Adelaide Street Shelter, which is anticipated early in 2026. During this period, the park will be closed for public use, and people not participating in day services will be restricted from entering or using the park. In addition to public communications being shared over social media and through the City’s Get Involved Kingston platform, the City and Lionhearts will install fencing and signs to notify the community attempting to access the site of the closure.
