Boultbee Drive Community Park

Construction has started at Boultbee Drive Community Park. The excavation and gravel base for the new pathway are completed, and the concrete pads for the new park furniture have been installed.

The work on the basketball court will take place over the next 1-2 weeks. The paving of the new path has been delayed until late September due to contractor availability. The park will remain closed to the public until the work is complete. Thank you for your patience while construction continues.

We are excited to share that construction is about to begin at Boultbee Community Park!

Phase One improvements will include a new asphalt pathway through the park and new park furniture including four benches and two picnic tables. The basketball court will be getting colour coat surface, line painting, and two new basketball hoops.

Work is expected to begin in the first week of August and will take approximately three weeks, weather depending. For safety, the park will be closed to the public during construction.

Thank you again to everyone who provided their input about the future of Boultbee Drive Community Park. A summary of the engagement results can be found here or in the Documents sections of this page.

A concept plan for the park has been developed and funding has been dedicated to construct the park improvements in two phases. Phase 1 will be constructed in 2022 and Phase 2 in 2026. The concept plan is available here or in the Documents section of this page.

Phase 1 improvements to the park will include a new asphalt pathway through the park, surfacing improvements and new basketball hoop for the sport court, new park furnishings including benches and picnic tables, and other landscape features such as new plantings and a park sign.

Phase 2 improvements to the park will include removing the existing playground and replacing it with a new expanded play area. The new playground will include a play structure with slides, a swing set, monkey bars, and a spinner.

The next steps for the project will involve refining the Concept 1 design and getting quotes from contractors to construct Phase 1 in 2022.

If you have any questions or comments about the concept design for Boultbee Community Park, please submit through the Questions and Comments link on this page.

Thank you to everyone that completed the online questionnaire, which closed on April 22, 2021. A summary of the responses and input received is available in the 'Documents' section the right.

Next steps will include the preparation of a concept plan for park improvements based on what we heard.

Some of the comments shared were specific to the water quality in the Sandpiper neighbourhood. This feedback has been provided to RDN Water Services. Improvements at Boultbee Drive Community Park are funded by all residents of Electoral Area G, including River's Edge, San Pareil, Dashwood and the French Creek area. The water system is specific to the Sandpiper neighbourhood and is funded by the residents of that neighbourhood only, separately from park projects. Improvements at the Park will not detract from ongoing efforts to improve the water quality for the neighbourhood.

Thank you to everyone that has submitted their input via the online questionnaire. It is open for one more week, so if you haven't already, please take a few minutes to share your thoughts! The questionnaire closes on April 22, 2021.

Check back here in May for an update and summary of what we heard.
