🚧 Construction Update: Spring 2025
As the weather gets warmer, construction at Mulock Park is heating up! This spring and summer the community will see big changes on the property as we gear up to open in 2026.
Here’s what’s happening on the site:
Utility and underground servicing is complete, except for connections.
Installation of landscaping and culverts to help move water across the site.
Continuing to create the outbuildings including a Maintenance Building near Osler Court, the Conservatory Greenhouse and Art Studio. Underground, we’re working on the pump house at the entry bridge at the corner of Yonge Street and Mulock Drive.
We’ll be working on the exterior cladding, roof and interior of the Art Studio which has been created from the former stable.
Completing the Skate Pavillion, including the trellis to connect the two buildings, and the cedar shake siding.
The underground piping for the skate trail is installed and we are constructing the concrete skating/walking surface.
On Mulock House, we’ve removed the verandah which will later be recreated in the same look and feel (read more here). We’ve been working to deepen the foundation to allow for ample head room in the basement which will house washrooms, a secret historic room and storage. Structural work is underway to strengthen the once private home to accommodate the extra people we expect will tour the house and gallery.
Coming up:
Installation of the Natural Discovery Playscape near the Jordanray Blvd. entrance.
Heavy landscape work throughout the spring to fall. This includes concrete work for future furniture, like benches; walkways and developing trails through the park, transplanting trees and some initial large plantings.
Completion of the Yonge Street Parking Lot is expected in June 2025.
The project team visited the Home & Lifestyle Show in early April and had an opportunity to chat with many residents about the amazing park that the Town is creating. There was lots of excitement in the community. We thank everyone, particularly the neighbourhood, for your continued patience and support as we create a park that will serve generations to come.
For a bird’s eye view of the construction progress, check out this video which captures the work up to March 2025.
