The FVRD is excited to share that we are building a new park in "The Gardens" subdivision to meet the needs of the growing community! The new park will include amenities selected by the community through a public engagement process.
THANK YOU TO THOSE WHO JOINED US AT THE OPEN HOUSE ON JUNE 21!
The community was invited to provide feedback on park concept plans and playground options by attending the open house on June 21 from 10 am - 1 pm. The open house took place at the new park site at the end of Trillium Way.
PARK CONCEPT PLAN
The FVRD is working with a landscape architect, Greenway, to develop a concept plan for the new park. The design takes into account important factors like the BC Hydro and Trans Mountain rights-of-way, as well as the natural elevation of the land. Based on these considerations, Greenway has created the following draft park layout.
PARK LOCATION
The park will be located at the end of Trillium Way.
CURRENT SITE CONDITIONS
The park is located in south east corner of the new Gardens subdivision and is approximately five acres in size. The area overlaps with BC Hydro and the Trans Mountain Pipeline rights of way, which means there are certain restrictions about what can be built or planted within the rights of way, affecting design and landscaping decisions. Because of these limitations, most of the park amenities will be located within a smaller section of the site not affected by the rights of way, shown as the playground area on the map below.
HOW ARE COMMUNITY PARKS DIFFERENT FROM REGIONAL PARKS?
Community parks are designed to meet the everyday recreational needs of local residents. They are typically smaller in size than regional parks and are intended to serve people living in the surrounding municipalities and electoral areas. While the features of each park may vary based on the unique needs of the community, their core purpose remains the same: to provide accessible spaces for play, relaxation, and connection at the neighbourhood level.
Community parks are classified into five categories: Tot lots, Neighbourhood parks, Active Parks, Special Interest Sites and Linear Trails/Greenways.
