Shape the Future of Brubacher Green!

Unfortunately, the construction of Brubacher Green has been delayed. The project was scheduled to be completed by the end of 2022. It is now expected to be complete by summer 2023.

The delay is due to unforeseen circumstances that have arisen during the construction process. We understand that this news may be disappointing to those who were looking forward to using the park. However, we are confident that the extra time and effort will result in improved park space that will be enjoyed for years to come. This park's improvements include replacing playground equipment, accessibility upgrades, and a new bicycle rack. The new play equipment will provide various play experiences for children of all ages.

We appreciate your understanding and patience. We will continue to provide updates on the progress and will announce a new opening date as soon as it is available.

Work on the new park space is progressing at Brubacher Green.

You may see a camera mounted near the park that is recording the work as it unfolds. View the timelapse photography on the City’s website here. You can also find it under ‘Important Links’ on the project page Shape the Future of Brubacher Green!

We have updated the home page for the project. If you are looking for information that was up here previously, you can find it below:

Brubacher Green is a small urban neighbourhood park that is actively used by the local community. The City is planning updates to this park to better support use of the space while introducing new creative play opportunities. Consultants from SHIFT Landscape Architecture have been engaged to lead the redevelopment of this park including conceptual design, final design, and taking the project through to construction completion.

The design team wants to gain an understanding from you – the community – about the park. As a starting point for discussion, the team has put together two concepts showing what is possible in the space.

We’d love to hear what’s most important to you. Shape the future of Brubacher Green by sharing your thoughts and feedback on each concept using the survey and “Ideas” board below!

Have a question? We know people are tired of virtual meetings but are perhaps not yet comfortable with in person events, so we're doing this consultation a different way. From August 16 to 20 we will host an online forum right here on this page. The project team will be closely monitoring this forum during business hours that week, answering your questions in real time. Visit this page anytime that week to ask questions, make comments and learn more about the Brubacher Green project.
