5. General Business & Reports
5.1. Staff update – there will be a presentation by Pat Carroll to the Parks & Recreation
Advisory Committee tomorrow, regarding Sea Scouts storage project next to the
Summer Place; update on work completed at the park: two events have tested the
space as created to date, Kinsmen concert and Turtlefest. The layout is proving to be
effective with the bandshell and surrounding site being well designed for both large and
small events, thanks to this committee’s work. The town had to invest in curtaining for
the bandshell to improve use; parking near the dog park needs to be addressed as it’s
not included in the Master Plan; need to think of alternative pavilion for family picnics,
as the current one can’t always be used along bandshell events and vice versa.
5.2. Master Plan review - parking:
Moved by: Ken Patterson Seconded by: Joan Weston
Resolution #3
THAT the Memorial Park Revitalization Committee endorse prioritizing of parking in this
order: 1. Parking lot near water park and Crystal Palace to be delineated and expanded
with fencing but not resurfacing AND at the same time safe access created to the North
end of ball diamonds; #2 Expand current parking lot North East of the Community
Centre as far East as possible with gravel; #3 Extend parking around the cattle barn
and dog park; #4 Expand Welding Street parking to be forwarded to the Parks &
Recreation Advisory committee and council for approval. Carried.
