Grand Re-Opening of Fisher Park


Tuesday, September 3rd, 2013
3:30-5:00 PM
Remarks and official opening at 4:30
Fisher Park
250 Holland Avenue


Please join Mayor Jim Watson, my fellow Councillor Mark Taylor, Chair of the Community and Protective Services Committee and me to celebrate the re-opening of Fisher Park with friends and neighbours and a few surprises too.

Since May, extensive renovations have been underway at Fisher Park to rejuvenate this well used community park. Funding for the park from the City's general spending was only $220,000 to replace the play structures and build a new splash pad. I invested $740,000 of Kitchissippi cash-in-lieu of parkland funds to ensure it received the upgrades our growing community needs, including:

  • A larger splash pad area with expanded number of water features

  • Two separate senior play structures, including a space net climbing component

  • A realigned and separated pathway system for children
