Given the facilities of the park, such as an accessible playground, splash pad, etc., it is expected that this park will attract residents to the area.  The Town will monitor and respond accordingly as needed.

Professional consultants involved through different phases of the park design have considered the necessary evaluation of environment conditions. This may include sea level rise, precipitation events, and development of the park in accordance with environmental guidelines.

As part of Phase 2 development, a LUIAR will be completed to identify any additional measures that could be considered in the medium to long-term planning horizons, to address potential issues with future climate change, including coastal erosion. This will help ensure the continued enjoyment of the park by future generations, while also realizing the Town’s objective to create green, environmentally friendly, spaces.

The Community Park will be a destination for family activities, that will be accessible for all ages and abilities.  Programming for the park is currently in its planning stages, but will be finalized once operational requirements and final design work have been completed.

This park has been funded jointly by the federal government ($1 million), the provincial government ($1 million) and the Town of Conception Bay South ($2.3 million). The total amount budgeted for the construction of the park is approximately $4.3 million.

In 2016, this property was purchased by the Town for $953,075.

It is anticipated that noise and disruption would not exceed that of other family parks within our town. A park of this nature will be used by many residents, so typical noise from visitors at the splash pad, ice surface or on playground equipment can be expected. Any special activities or events at the park will adhere to the policies and regulations set out by the Town.

The Town welcomes feedback from its residents regarding programming and events offered throughout the community.  During the development of the Community Park project, the Town has requested input from residents and addressed potential concerns.  Programming for the park is currently in its planning stages, but will be finalized once operational requirements and final design work have been completed.

The Town feels it is important to ensure zoning regulations are clear with respect to the Town’s discretion to consider development of the splash pad / ice surface, performance stage and a service building.

The Town is subject to its own Building and Development Regulations, which are provided to the Town’s consulting company, who completes work and development.  Completed design documents are submitted to authorities having jurisdiction, which may include several Provincial and Federal Departments.  During the process of procuring goods and services for this site, the Town, or its representatives, adhere to the Public Procurement Act.
