Big ideas start with community voices.

A new park is planned for the Fieldgate neighbourhood, and we're looking for your input. Your ideas will help shape Ghant Park from the ground up.


A New Park is Coming to Fieldgate

We're planning Ghant Park in Emerald Crossings and want to hear your ideas. Take a quick survey and tell us what features and amenities would make this a park you'll enjoy for years to come.

Construction is anticipated to begin in 2027. The park is intended to serve nearby residents and provide a space for play, leisure, and community gatherings.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Community input helps ensure neighborhood parks reflect how residents use them. Feedback informs design decisions related to age groups, accessibility, amenities, and park standards.

The survey is open to everyone, with a focus on:

  • Residents of Emerald Crossing
  • Shelburne residents who may use the park
  • Households with children, youth, adults, or seniors

Survey results will:

  • Identify priority features and themes
  • Help shape concept designs
  • Be summarized and reported as part of the project record

Not every suggestion can be accommodated, but all feedback will be reviewed and considered.

Playground options are being explored as part of this engagement. The final type, size, and layout will be informed by community feedback, safety standards, accessibility requirements, and available space.

Yes. All new playgrounds are designed to meet CSA Z614 standards and incorporate inclusive and accessible features wherever possible.

Some features (such as rubberized surfacing, splash pads, or courts) may not be feasible due to:

  • Park size
  • Infrastructure requirements
  • Budget constraints
  • Long-term maintenance considerations

These types of amenities are often prioritized in community-level parks rather than neighbourhood parks.

Subject to final design approval and tendering, construction is anticipated to begin 2027. Timelines will be shared on this page as the project progresses.
