🚧 Construction Update: Mulock Park Progress Report

As the days get chillier, we are celebrating the first successful season constructing Mulock Park. Work is now 44% complete – you can see a time lapse video showing the difference from the spring of 2024 to November.

2024 Work highlights:

  • Moved roughly 300,000 cubic metres of earth to reshape the landscape
  • Protected more than 450 large trees
  • Installed underground servicing, including:
    • 1 kilometre or water pipe
    • 1 kilometre of storm and sanitary pipe
    • Over 4 kilometres of electrical ducts
  • Started construction on the Maintenance Building, Skate Pavilion, Conservatory Greenhouse
  • Carefully salvaged elements of the former stable which will become the artist's studio.
  • Installed geothermal system under the great lawn which will heat and cool the Mulock House, Greenhouse Conservatory, and Artist Studio. This is estimated to save 500+ tonnes of CO2 by 2050.
  • Installed the refrigeration system for the skate trail
  • Created driveways and a new parking lot on Mulock Drive, together with a larger parking lot of some 200 spaces north of the park on Yonge Street.

2025 Work to come

  • Continue to establish the park outbuildings, constructing walls, roof and interior finishes.

  • Create the Natural Discovery Playscape

  • Install a solar array in the parking lot

  • Plant 3 new trees for every 1 removed

  • Plant more than 30,000 native plants

  • Create roads and paths

  • Install commissioned public art pieces

Diesel generators may be operated to provide heat to buildings under construction. The Town will work with the Contractors to minimize impacts to neighbours

Thanks for your patience and following along as we work to create an extraordinary park for the community!
