Located along Matheson Blvd., Saigon Park will provide recreation opportunities for the enjoyment of residents and employees of nearby businesses and serve as a stormwater management facility through the pond in its centre.
The name “Saigon” recognizes the Vietnamese-Canadian community who found refuge in Canada when they were forced to flee Vietnam during the Fall of Saigon in April 1975.
Park features include:
- Naturalized plantings to support stormwater management and natural heritage
- A 1-km trail with fitness stations
- Various lookout points including a pier
- A public art piece entitled “A Year in Weather”
