Creating #MyMulock Property
About the Mulock Property
The Town of Newmarket's vision for this property is to create an iconic community park/outdoor green space. The site has a remarkable history and potential to become a focal point where community life, recreation, culture, heritage and conservation collide in innovative and engaging ways.
Community Engagement
As part of the Town’s community engagement process and one of Council’s Strategic Priorities, Extraordinary Places and Spaces, we spoke with over 3,000 residents from fall 2019 to winter 2020 to gather feedback. The community’s ideas and technical research by our expert team have helped to shape and inspire three design concepts: Expressive, Peaceful & Energized. From September 29 - October 12, the community will have the chance to provide feedback on the concepts.
What's Next?
On May 25, Council approved proceeding to Phase Two of the project which includes the creation of three design concepts which PLANT Architect Inc. will reveal to Council and the public at the end of September, followed by consultation. The feedback received on the three design concepts will then be refined to one preferred concept, and finally, one Master Plan.

A concert area. There could be a bandstand set up for summer concerts/fundraising events.
Keeping as many trees as possible it would be nice to see the space used for the community to gather together. Many community events could be held here if facilities were built (concerts, Octoberfest, ribfest, farmers market, etc.

I feel like the most important thing is to perserve it’s natural nature while intergrating well in the area.
Other than the nature aspect of it, I belive that adding cafes(no plastic use), pebbled walkways, and gardens are a great addition to the area. Turning the house into a museum would be great. We can also connect Jim Bond to it. I find lighting is also a great way to have it be a more lively place not only in day but night time too. Keeping the European inspired design would be more true to how it looked originally.

Assiniboine Park in Winnipeg is an outstanding example of historical preservation and public access. Mulock park could be modelled the same
Culinary arts school similar to Galen Weston centre for food Durham college. Outdoor amphitheater and lots of green space, but no picnic and BBQ use. Outdoor exercise equipment for youth and adults.

Set up a high tea / afternoon tea room on the main floor. Keep the upstairs as a museum about the site and the local area.
The tea room should be a classic style tea room with cakes / sandwiches e.t.c. Certainly not a Starbucks or Tim hortons! For the grounds - still like the idea of a skating trail during the winter. But bring your own skates! Set up a small gazebo that could be rented for wedding photos. Allow residents to rent a section ofnthe grounds for summer events. Keep the parking on site. There should be no access in from the neighborhood streets backing onto the site.
