Improving Cooksville Parks

Overview

As part of the Cooksville Parkland Long Term Acquisition(External link), the City has been purchasing properties for parkland in the Cooksville area to help address the parkland deficit.

Over eight hectares (20 acres) of newly acquired properties have been added to Cooksville Park and Iggy Kaneff Park creating larger, more connected parkland in the Cooksville area. These two expanded parks are now ready for redevelopment.

The parks will be redeveloped to provide new park space, features and amenities, and replace aging infrastructure. The project will improve the parkland experience, increase accessibility and flood resiliency, and integrate and enhance the natural areas within the Cooksville Creek corridor.

Public engagement

Phase 1

The City completed Phase 1 of public engagement in 2023 to understand what facilities, amenities and features residents prioritize in the expansion and redevelopment of Cooksville Park and Iggy Kaneff Park. More than 530 residents provided feedback in a survey.

The Closing the Loop Summary for Phase 1 outlines the key public engagement findings which has informed the park programming and conceptual park design.

Phase 2

During Phase 2 of public engagement, the City will be asking for feedback on the conceptual park design, also known as the concept plan.

The concept plan includes the proposed facilities, amenities and features and has been prepared based on:

• Input received from Phase 1 of public engagement
• Parks, Forestry and Environment 2024 Future Directions Plan
• Technical analysis
• Capital budget

Share your feedback on the concept plan by taking the online survey by May 31, 2026.
