March 27, 2024 — City of Burlington
The City of Burlington has begun phase 1 of the outdoor engagement on the greenspace at Robert Bateman Community Centre. The outdoor engagement includes a redesign of Frontenac Park. An online survey is open now at getinvolvedburlington.ca/bateman until the end of April.
Residents can also join an in-person visioning session at Tansley Woods Community Centre (1996 Itabashi Way) on April 17 from 7 to 9 p.m. or an online visioning session on April 25 from 7 to 9 p.m. To register for a session, visit getinvolvedburlington.ca/bateman.
The primary question participants will be asked is, “How would you like to use the greenspace?”
Participants will be able to provide feedback on the redevelopment of this outdoor greenspace including essential paved pathway connections throughout the site to the adjacent school and new Community Centre Entrance.
We’re excited to work with the community to make this a greenspace that will be well used and loved by all. Ideas submitted through the engagement process will be vetted through several filters such as budget, space and overall feasibility to create a set of park design concepts. Once those concepts are ready, we’ll once again ask residents for their input in selecting which concept will be created in the greenspace.
Denise Beard, Senior Manager, Community Development
The information collected will be reviewed by staff to help determine what can and cannot be done in the space and create concepts. Factors that will also determine concepts will be popularity, cost, noise/disruption to neighbours, regulations and technical feasibility.
Park features that cannot go into the greenspace include full-sized sport fields, sport field lighting, pickleball courts, basketball courts, splash pad and an outdoor pool.
