Background (from fall 2020)
The existing playground and green space located at 45 Glenmoor Drive is getting a facelift in 2021!
With its large open space and frontage on three streets, it is a very visible hub for neighbourhood play.
About the park features
Some of the existing features are near the end of their expected life. Other features may no longer be desirable. This is your opportunity to tell us what you want to see happen in the park. All ideas are welcome, examples might include:
- Building a new centralized shade/rain shelter adjacent to the playground and other park amenities
- Installing new picnic tables, park benches and tables to allow families to enjoy along with providing excellent vantages points to supervise and enjoy the playground and other park activities
- Upgrades to pathways and paved areas to better encourage year-round access, in particular for those with mobility challenges
- Upgrades to the tennis courts and/or basketball courts
- Preservation of green space and trees
- New play equipment and possibly an action sports spot for scooters, bikes, skateboards and in-line skates!
Action Sports possibilities! Tell us what you think!
In September 2020, the City of Moncton received the Moncton Action Sports Park Strategy from Van Der Zalm & Associates to help guide current and future investment in spaces to scooter, bike, skateboard and in-line skate in the city. Existing parks and potential future spots were investigated for their suitability to support action sports while considering location, access, suitability, landscape integration and site amenities. Lewisville Park scored very high in all categories of and this already active park is recommended for a future spot. Refer to page 66 in the link below! Do you agree?
