Background
What initiated the project:
- In 2011, the City of Mississauga purchased Our Lady of the Airways School site located to the west of the original park property
- A place making exercise with the community in 2012 confirmed the need for a redevelopment plan with new facilities and park improvements
- In 2013, the City hired a consultant to provide services for detailed park design and construction contract administration
Goals and objectives
The following facilities and improvements make this park more colourful, playful and inviting:
- Paved pathways connect the main park elements and provide a walking loop (with painted distance markers every 100 metres) around the perimeter
- Accessible seating and benches with shade options
- Central gathering space with attractive shade structure
- Children’s playground with new play equipment, swings, accessible elements, and sand play pit
- Shade trees along pathways and native buffer planting
- Redeveloped parking area for 38 cars and two accessible spaces
- Two unlit tennis courts with surface painted in green and blue
- Multi-purpose sport court includes bright colours on surface and two basketball hoops
- Sand surface volleyball court with adjacent grassy berm for spectator seating
