THE CONSTRUCTION SOURCE CANADA and needs. They introduced pickleball courts, one additional tennis court, a walking trail, a naturalized planting area, a combined splash pad and ice-rink, playground, a washroom building, and a more versatile multi-use sport court to replace the basketball court. The city’s goal wasn’t simply to restore the existing amenities to their former functionality. Instead, they were upgraded to current safety and design standards while meeting the needs of the community. For example, an additional tennis court and four new pickleball courts were added to address the growing interest in the community. Construction on the Bayview Hill Park Revitalization project is being undertaken in phases. The south side – which includes four pickleball courts, six tennis courts, and the new walking trail and planting area – is already complete and open to the public. The north side – which includes the new playground area, as well as the splash-padand-ice-rink combination – is expected to be completed by the summer. “The public is very excited about this revitalization,” John says. “It’s something that people are really thrilled about. It’s going to give residents something fresh, exciting, and a splash of curb appeal. When it’s done, it’s going to inject a lot of excitement in the community.” From a personal perspective, John couldn’t be happier with the progress. The portion that’s been completed, he says, “looks fantastic.” “It’s gone really well, I’m really happy with it,” he says. “I can’t wait for people to get out there and start using it.”
