Rollie Miles Athletic Field Park is part of the District Activity Park Renewal Program.

About the Project

The 13.09 hectare Rollie Miles Athletic Field District Park, located in the Queen Alexandra neighbourhood, supports a number of community amenities and facilities. Aging infrastructure and growing community demand created the need for a park renewal project.

The Rollie Miles Athletic Field District Park Enhancement project created a preliminary design plan through refinement of the park master plan created in 2018.

This project is not currently funded for construction.
