🚧 Construction Update: September

Drilling the geothermal well field (Fun fact - geothermal heating and cooling for the main buildings is estimated to save 500+ tonnes of CO2 by 2050)

Throughout the park, we are installing buried water, sewer, storm drainage, geothermal pipes, communications and electrical services for the different buildings in the park.

Building the foundation for the Skate Pavillion and Conservatory Greenhouse.

Along Mulock Drive, our partners at NT Power are replacing poles on the south side of the street to provide a new electrical supply to the park.

Big machines are moving the earth to shape the park, and new retaining walls are being constructed along Mulock Drive - this will form the new, 38-space Mulock Drive parking lot.

Building the maintenance building near Osler Court which will serve the park.

Retaining wall construction

Creating the pumphouse for the Riverine Fountain – this is a cool feature which runs along Yonge Street. The creek-like riverine will provide a space to splash and play, a tranquil ambiance and the sound of a trickling brook to provide a barrier from the traffic.

Transplanting selected trees at the north end of the former Jim Bond Park, near Jordanray Boulevard. This work is needed to make space for the future Natural Discovery Playscape. Trees will be relocated and planted on-site, as part of the Town’s commitment to protecting as many trees as possible.
