We want your feedback! Learn more about the potential improvements to the Dufferin Grove Park Clubhouse and the North-West Corner by attending the first public meeting on February 6th, 2019.
Dufferin Grove Park is a central community hub for the neighbourhood. The City has identified an opportunity to improve the clubhouse and north west corner of the park and are working with the community to create a vision that retains the existing and provides new opportunities for community programs.
The average community recreation centre is almost 40 years old, and the average arena is 50 years old. Many City facilities are reaching the end of their lifespans and are not keeping pace with public needs and expectations. Deteriorating facilities affect user experience, increase repair and operating costs and create risk and liability. By investing in renewing and upgrading facilities like Dufferin Grove, we are proactive in making the most of our existing facilities, by monitoring usage and finding ways to use facilities year-round and for multiple purposes.
Dufferin Grove Park supports a wide range of community programs and an opportunity has been identified to improve the existing facilities to enable new opportunities for future developments and community gathering. This project includes a new addition, alteration, or replacement of the following: a new commercial kitchen/baking area, a multi-purpose room, a refrigeration facility for the outdoor ice rink, public washrooms, a snack bar and a skating rental booth.
The consulting team of DTAH and LURA, along with their team of sub-consultants will provide further information for public engagement and consultation opportunities.
Date: Wednesday February 6th, 2019
Time: There will be an open house from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. and a structured meeting from 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.
