We're upgrading Prospect Park and adding a Stormwater Facility to the park. Construction is expected to begin in 2027 and is estimated to be complete by 2028.

Climate change will bring more intense storms and more frequent freeze-thaw cycles. Creating more spaces for stormwater to collect in neighbourhoods reduces flooding during storms.

Right now, runoff from the neighbourhood flows through a stormwater pipe under Prospect Park to Montgomery Creek and the Grand River. This makes Prospect Park a good place to add a new stormwater facility to collect runoff.

By adding stormwater storage to the neighbourhood, we can:
  • Improve water quality in Montgomery Creek and the Grand River
  • Reduce the risk of flooding in downstream Neighbourhoods
  • Reduce erosion in Montgomery Creek
  • Improve resilience against climate change
  • Enhance community safety

While we do this, can can also improve and enhance the park features and the trails through the park.
We want to hear what park experiences are important to you. Your input will help guide the design of these upgrades so your park serves your neighbourhood better.
