Complete the online survey to share your feedback
Loyalist Township is seeking public input to determine community interest in a splash pad and what features/amenities are most important when considering potential locations for the development of a splash pad.
From May 1, 2023, until July 1, 2023, you are invited to share your thoughts!
Background
During the development of the Recreation Master Plan in 2017, “strong and consistent support emerged for a splash pad”. Feedback received resulted in a splash pad being consistently one of the top three new recreational facilities desired in Loyalist Township.
In September 2022, Council directed staff to report on the cost, availability and viability of splash pads located at Amherstview, Bath and Odessa.
In December 2022, staff presented a report to Council providing an overview of feasibility considerations for a splash pad in Loyalist Township. Following the presentation of the report, staff were directed to develop a public consultation plan for 2023 to determine if the community still desires a splash pad and if so, establish the most suitable location based on preferred facility attributes.
Sharing Your Feedback
The project team is eager to listen and learn from the community through survey results and public consultations. Input from the public will be presented to Loyalist Township Council to help inform next steps.
