Confederation Basin Promenade
The Confederation Basin Promenade project includes a new accessible walkway and public space experience on the existing rock breakwall that shelters Flora MacDonald Confederation Basin and would be accessed from the waterfront pathway and Battery Park. Seating, lighting, viewing and swimming opportunities will be considered for the promenade.
The 2016 Waterfront Master Plan process conceptualized and consulted on the Promenade Project and a high-level scope of work was established and approved by Council, along with a $2.695M project budget. In 2022, Council approved the expanded project scope, including a longer and wider promenade, an enhanced entry area, improved swimming access and additional seating with an increased budget of $9M.
On July 8, 2025, Kingston City Council approved a naming rights agreement for the expanded swimming dock, inflatable water park, and new washroom/changeroom facility at Battery Park, located in Flora MacDonald Confederation Basin. The project is being delivered in partnership with Patry Inc. Developments, which has secured naming rights through a $1 million in-kind sponsorship. The total approved budget for the enhancements is $3 million.
