Consultation has concluded.
The Town of Aurora is seeking public input into the development of the new park at 276 & 310 Hartwell Way.
Conceptual plans have been prepared in accordance with the Town’s Parks and Recreation Master Plan and as directed by Town of Aurora Council. Town staff wish to stress that this park is intended to provide alternative amenities and an aesthetic that is different from the local parks in the area such as Ada Johnson Park and Edward Coltham Park. It is the intent that this park will have an overall natural feel recognizing the connection to the natural environment on many levels. We hope this park will inspire free, creative play, link people to the land and provide interesting and unique amenities.
One of the main considerations for this park is the connectivity to the overall natural heritage system including the David Tomlinson Nature Reserve. A welcome centre is proposed that will serve as a gathering and information area as well as a trailhead. This area is intended to facilitate both structured gatherings as well as informal gatherings.
Other proposed amenities include a naturalized playground providing alternative play opportunities than the more structured play equipment that is provided in nearby parks, as well as a small fenced dog run and community gardens. The community gardens are proposed to be raised planting beds including accessible planting beds. Both the community gardens and the dog run will require community involvement through an Adopt-a Park partnering program. The proposed amenities and layout of the park can be viewed in the column to the right.
