This consultation has concluded.
Thank you to everyone who provided feedback on the master plan design. Visit the city website for the final design and playground equipment details as of November 8, 2021.
We’re starting the process to create a new neighbourhood park located at 51 Skinner Drive, the northwest corner of Starwood Drive and Watson Parkway.
We completed engagement back in June where you helped us select the best of two park designs. We’ve taken your feedback and chosen the Green Flow concept and added in some of your favourite design options from both designs.
The final park master plan features:
Playground and swings
Shade structure
Picnic tables and benches
Games tables and ping pong table
Rain garden
Space for a community garden
Green spaces
We need your help to review the final design between July 27 - August 17 , provide your feedback or ask us a question. The new park will be built in the summer of 2022 with a separate design process for the playground.
The green flow concept promotes natural exploration and discovery in Hammill Park. The circulation system provides multiple options to move through the space and has incorporated the Skinner Drive sidewalk.
The park includes a pollinator/rain garden along the southern boundary that will provide habitat as well as an unstructured exploration space for children. The lawn provides an opportunity to engage in unstructured active and passive activities. A community garden brings residents together with accessible raised beds and at ground level plots. The central shade structure with picnic tables anchors the park providing a sheltered lookout over the lawn, community garden and playground featuring equipment inspired by nature.
Changes to the original Green Flow concept include:
adding games tables
adding ping pong table
adding a ramp to the play equipment area
adding concrete pads for rolling waste bins at the corner of Law/Skinner and the southwest entrance to park on Skinner
consolidating the armour stones at the play equipment area
adjusting the pathways to provide more uninterrupted lawn space
adjusting location of benches and bike racks
graphically representing the middle armrest on the benches
relocating the community garden south of the path to create more separation from active lawn area activities
adjusting the size/layout of the rain garden/pollinator garden space
removing the low shrub plantings throughout the park
Next Steps
When the master plan is finalized using your feedback, we will pre-select the play equipment in fall 2021 and share on City’s webpage. The construction drawings will be tendered to contractors in winter 2022. Pending budget approval, construction is expected to begin in summer 2022.

Review two design concepts for the future park and vote on
your preferred concept. You can also share your ideas about playground
equipment and provide comments to us. We’ll use that feedback to help create
one final park concept that we'll share with you later this summer
