Madoma Park Court Improvements – Public Engagement Reporting Back

Why we engaged

The Madoma Park sports courts are nearing the end of their service life and are currently scheduled for reconstruction in Fall 2026. These courts are well used by the local neighbourhood and community. As part of the proposed court renovation, the City provided an opportunity for the community to share their feedback on the type of courts to be included in the park.

How we engaged

Between March 26, and April 17, 2026, community members were invited to fill out a survey on Get Involved Kingston. There were 48 responses to the survey.
