What is the Buena Vista Park Upgrade Project?
Buena Vista Park, located in the Buena Vista neighbourhood, will be receiving upgrades in 2024 as part of the City’s Park Upgrade Program, an ongoing capital project that provides funding for improvements to existing neighbourhood parks to address deficiencies and bring them up to current park standards. The upgrade work in Buena Vista Park is also being funded in part by the Government of Canada's Natural Infrastructure Fund.
What upgrades are being planned?
The upgrades planned for Buena Vista Park Include:
- Upgraded pathways and lights
- New site furniture
- Tree and shrub plantings
- Upgraded irrigation, including the lawn bowling area
Some trees and shrubs may need to be removed to accommodate the updated park infrastructure. However, our main goal is to always leave a park with as many or more trees than when we started.
When will the upgrade work take place?
Construction is estimated to run from May to October 2024.
- May 8 - Contractor to begin installing construction fencing. Pathway entrances and public access through the park will remain open until construction starts.
- Week of May 13 - Construction to begin, starting with the installation of large caliper trees.
- Park area will be closed to the public throughout construction and during the establishment of newly planted areas.
- The play area will be accessible to the public until construction is required in the area around the play equipment (date TBD).
- Nutana Lawn Bowling Club will remain open until September 1.
More information will be posted to this webpage as the project progresses.
