The District of Squamish plans to construct a $340,000 neighborhood park at the end of No Name Road in Squamish. The district is seeking the community’s input in a survey, which is open to residents until May 12.
Suggestions from the initial survey include preserving the site’s natural character, incorporating play features for children aged 0-12, providing seating options, improving access to the dike, and retaining existing trees, paths, and pump track.
Based on the feedback, an arborist and environmental consultant will recommend on preserving the site’s natural character. The contractor has already completed a site survey, tree arborist report, solar study, and slope study of the path to the dike and brainstormed potential ideas.
The district would like to know how the space is being used currently and what the community desires in the future. The community input will be used to develop concept ideas, which will be presented to the North Yards neighbourhood for online and in-person feedback before moving on to the detailed design phase of the space.
Funding for this project will come from Community Amenity Contributions, which is cash that property developers provide to help meet community needs. The community survey will be live until Sunday, May 12. The district plans to build the park in late and early 2025, which is expected to be open to the community in 2025.
