Here’s what we talked about in a nutshell:
·
Councillor Palacio will support our efforts to
improve the park playground and build a community garden. A petition will be circulated to drum up
greater support and bring Roseneath Park nearer to the top of the priority
list.
·
A community garden can be built in the near
future; a new playground and any other design changes would be a more expensive
and, therefore, long term project.
·
Timelines and funding are yet to be
determined. We will have to do some
fundraising as a start since there are no funds immediately available. The coucillor’s office will also do some leg
work and get back to us about funding.
·
FORP should
consider adopting Charles Brereton Park on Oakwood as suggested by Councillor
Palacio – to be discussed.
·
A petition will be circulated regarding
installing speed bumps on Robina Avenue.
·
For our information – there are currently no
applications to redevelop the land adjacent to the park, i.e., the No Frills
and parking lot.
·
Another meeting with city staff will be scheduled
in the near future, so let’s discuss the next steps!
Our next Monday Meet Up is on July 9 at 6:30 p.m. It’ll be a great time to talk about our
impressions, questions, and hopes.
Hi! That is the park directly beside Rawlinson Community School correct? I am very familiar with that parkette because as a former Rawlinson student I used to have lunch out there on the park benches all the time. It was such a nice place to hang out and play Frisbee on a pretty day as well as eat lunch. I believe the students of that school and the community would greatly appreciate your support and kindness. I was apart of the mosaic making and have seen the transformation with the flowers and the toys at Roseneith Park. I think that flowers and love and funding is exactly what Charles Brereton Park needs. Once again as a resident of the area I greatly appreciate your kindness it is really making a difference around here.
