Project Overview

In early 2023, Council directed Staff to commence planning for the creation of a community park on the Millbrook Arena Lands. Council also moved that existing users of the Millbrook Arena be permitted to use the existing facility in its current state until the final plans for the community park are approved by Council or that the facility becomes a health and safety concern. This formed Phase 2 of the Parks and Recreation Plan - Vision 2035.

The creation of a signature downtown park or civic square will become a focal point and gathering space for the community in the centre of Millbrook.

Landscape Planning was retained by the Township in June 2024 to develop a conceptual design and site plan.
