About the Project
The Windermere District Park Project will develop a park at 170 Street SW and Rabbit Hill Road to serve the communities around the Windermere neighbourhood.
This district park will support the needs of two schools—one public junior/senior high school and one Catholic high school—as well as a future recreation facility and local park users.
What is a District Park?
A district park serves several surrounding neighbourhoods, is part of the city-wide park system and supports a wide variety of facilities, programs and open-space activities.
This project will create the draft design for basic amenities on the park site, including:
- Sports fields
- Flexible open space
- Pathways
- Site furniture
- Landscaping
