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 schoolsone public junior/senior high school and one Catholic high schoolas well as a future recreation facility and local park users.

As part of this project, plans will be made to grade and plant grass in the areas that have been identified for the Catholic school, and future recreation and transit facilities. These amenities are currently unfunded.
