The Concord Park development on Sheppard Avenue East between Bayview Avenue and Leslie Street will bring new publicly owned assets and serve both the immediate and broader Willowdale area.
Now the public has an opportunity to have their say in how we use those assets.
Are you interested in new sporting opportunities? Or are you interested in community space for a farmers’ market or live music?
Here are some of the new features that we will be considering this fall at our community planning sessions:
We will be considering a new community centre with an aquatic facility, children’s care centre and a new library. Another option is a central square that can host events and possibly even a farmers’ market
We’re also considering an artificial turf field that can support multiple sports, but there’s also the option of a passive recreational area for more casual activities.
We aim to keep the space family-friendly, so we’re also considering an active play area and a new dog park. We will be considering public art in the park and along all the public spaces, to beautify and add character to the area.
Bicycle parking, an underground parking garage and street parking will also be considered as well as the option for TTC access from Bessarion station.
With all these possibilities, we need your help to create these new spaces. There will be more information on planning sessions starting this fall. Contact me at councillor_shiner@toronto.ca to let me know that you want to participate in designing new resources for your community.
