While Phase 1 of the Munro Park Improvements was completed in 2017, Phase 2 of the Masterplan was slated to be constructed in 2020 but has yet to be fulfilled. As engagement was initially done in 2014, the community’s needs have likely changed, and therefore we need to re-engage for the Phase 2 work. Munro Park is ready for re-investment and life-cycling at this time.
Phase 1 included: enhancing the entries, constructing a walking/running track with exercise nodes, installing picnic tables, benches, and planting trees and shrubs.
Phase 2 proposed (to be confirmed with the community through engagement): replacing and enhancing the dated play equipment, expanding the play area, a small potential skatepark or other amenity, additional paths, and a drinking fountain.
Munro Park was chosen through the EAGCS program. The Established Area Growth and Change Strategy (EAGCS) is a program of work that includes policy, procedure, and public space capital investment improvements in the established area. Winston Heights-Mountview and other nearby communities are experiencing greater growth and change than others in the established area. As a result, the EAGCS identified North Hill LAP area as a focus area for established area investment. Munro Park was identified in the North Hill Local Area Plan.
We are enthusiastic about pursuing our initial commitment to the community for Phase 2 of the Munro Park Masterplan.
