Our office will be hosting a pop-up consultation for the new Fernbank District Park on Saturday, October 3, beginning at 11:00 am.
You can find us at the southeast corner of the Robert Grant Avenue Roundabout at Abbott Street along the Trans Canada Trail (opposite of Paul-Demarais)—not far from where Stittsville’s largest park will be located. I’ll be there along with the City’s parks planning staff to listen to your feedback about the draft park design concept. This in-person consultation event follows an online survey that was available earlier this month.
Fernbank District Park is a central part of the Fernbank Community Design Plan. It’s a large, triangular site — over 8 hectares in area — located between Abbott Street, the Trans Canada Trail, the Hydro corridor/Clintonia Street, and Rouncey Road. The park design concept includes:
- Combined junior and senior play areas, including sand play.
- Splash pad
- Football field, with lighting
- Cricket pitch (tapeball)
- Tennis and pickleball Courts, with lighting
- Soccer field
- Fitness area
- Outdoor rink (permanent boards), with lighting and puddle (skating) area + basketball court
- Off-leash dog area
- Parking lot
- Designated (future) all-wheels area
- Designated (future) fieldhouse
- Shade structure(s) and gathering areas
- Park pathway and community pedestrian connection network.

Hope to see you on October 3rd!
