This project is funded in part by the Government of Canada’s Natural Infrastructure Fund.

As part of the work being done through the Natural Infrastructure Fund (NIF) Green Network Project, Boughton Park was identified in 2023 as a location for the installation of a Food Forest Demonstration Site. After more detailed review and consideration through the Park Irrigation & Naturalization Improvements Project and the Park Department's Park Upgrade Program, Boughton Park was also identified to receive additional park upgrades including irrigation and naturalization improvements and other enhancements such as a new play structure, pathways and site furniture. The coordination of these projects reduced construction impacts, saved time and money by reducing the number of contracts, consolidated design/installation work, and optimized the use of the NIF grant funding.

The design presented is a concept plan only. Actual installation may vary.
