The contractor has completed the final outstanding items including fine grading and turf seeding in select areas. The park will remain closed for one more week to allow the grass seed to take. Please do not enter the park while it is fenced. We thank you for your patience and understanding.

We would like to express our sincere regret for the delay in the reconstruction of Brubacher Green. We recognize that many of you are feeling frustrated. We are committed to providing and maintaining quality park space for our residents, and we understand the impact this delay may have on those who were looking forward to using the park this summer.
We understand that these delays may be disappointing, but we are confident that the upgrades will benefit the community in the long-term. The extra time and effort will result in an improved park space that will be enjoyed for years to come. The upgrades include replacing playground equipment, adding accessibility upgrades, and a new bicycle rack. The new play equipment will provide various play experiences for children of all ages, while the accessibility upgrades will make the park more inclusive for all.
We are doing everything possible to complete the park as soon as possible. We will continue to provide updates on the progress and will announce a new opening date as soon as it is available.

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.

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.
