The design team has completed a site review for each park and consulted with nearby building owners and organizations. We've used this input to develop two concept options for each park:
Concept Option #1 maintains separate identities of each park while providing new features and park amenities:

Concept Option 2 unifies the two parks with common features while also providing new park amenities:

Beaver Hills House Park and Michael Phair Park are two open spaces in Edmonton’s downtown. This project will renew aging infrastructure within the parks and will also improve the overall design and function. The goal of the renewal, in addition to repairing or replacing the existing infrastructure, is to improve safety and accessibility and increase the use of these open spaces in our downtown.
The project will make improvements in lighting, sightlines and other park features as well as upgrade and fix park infrastructure. A public washroom will also be added.
The City of Edmonton is currently in the design phase for the renovation of the parks. The design will be completed per The City Plan, , the , the Downtown Public Places Plan and in accordance with Breathe: Edmonton’s Green Network Strategy, which supports a multifunctional green network.
While there will be technical constraints that will limit options for some park elements, through a series of engagement opportunities the City will be gathering input from stakeholders and the public to advise on improvements to the design.
Construction is anticipated to start in late 2023, with the bulk of the work taking place during 2024. It is expected the parks will be completed in 2025.
