What is this project about?
The Municipality is proposing to undertake the Revitalization of the Croft Recreational Park with improvements such as the revamping of the baseball field, the revitalization of the playground to include accessible playground equipment and the addition of a skate, bike, pump park as it would serve multiple community interests. It would increase community engagement as a well maintained baseball field would attract more families, and sports enthusiasts, fostering community engagement and promoting physical activity. It would promote accessibility and inclusivity by adding accessible playground equipment, the park would become more inclusive for children of all abilities, ensuring that everyone in the community can enjoy recreational spaces. It would diversify our recreation as adding a skate, bike, pump park would appeal to different age groups, especially teens and young adults, providing them with a safe and designated place for these activities, which could reduce unsanctioned skating, extreme biking and the use of pump bikes in other parts of the municipality. It would also boost local appeal as a multi-use recreational park with diverse facilities would attract more visitors, making it a vibrant hub for the community and enhancing the quality of life in the area.
Why is this project important to the community?
This combination of improvements would ensure the park meets the evolving needs of all residents, fostering a sense of community, health, and inclusivity. Currently the Croft Recreational Park is outdated and in disrepair. The ball field needs to be repaired as it does flood during the influx of rain and the last two seasons games have had to be postponed and rescheduled due to the state of the field as it would have been unsafe to play. The playground located at the park is small and the equipment is outdated. If no action is taken the playground could have to be dismantled in the near future as the equipment will be outdated.
