Westbrook Park expansion final design

In summer 2023, the second public engagement for the Westbrook Park expansion was held to present the revised park designs. This follow-up consultation incorporated revisions to the park design based on feedback from the project's initial public engagement session.

During the second engagement, we heard:

  • Move Version 1 playground further from Remington Ave.
  • Playground should be visible from the sports fields and the parking lot
  • Include pathway through new park land to Remington from existing parking lot
  • Include pathway through woodlot
  • Don't remove trees. Plant more trees
  • Provide four swings
  • Provide inclusive play elements

Based on your feedback, we refined the park design to include a revised location for the playground, pathways through the park and the woodlot, an open play lawn, and repositioned the soccer field to better accommodate the path and playground. The playground features accessible elements including a transfer platform, step deck, slides, interactive ground play elements and panels, and an adaptive swing.
