Park improvements

Progress continues at North Maple Regional Park (11067 Keele St.)! Construction of the City’s first cricket field within the park is complete, including lighting and irrigation. Artistic signage and wayfinding have been added throughout the park. Work is underway to restore the pond and expand the wetland area, with final planting nearing completion. In addition, the existing park driveway will be expanded to include a second park entrance with access to Keele Street and a new traffic signal at the park’s north entrance will be installed. More information about NMRP is available at vaughan.ca/NMRP.

Playground reconstruction at Killian-Lamar Parkette (108 Mathewson St.) will begin this fall. A paved pathway connection to the valley was completed this summer.

The artificial turf soccer fields at both Vaughan Grove Sports Park (7401 Martin Grove Rd.) and Sonoma Heights District Park (100 Sunset Ridge) will be open this spring for soccer clubs to use and public programming. At Vaughan Grove Sports Park, completed improvements include the conversion from grass to an artificial turf field, new players and referee benches and shelters, an asphalt walkway around the new field for players, backstop fencing behind the goals and an upgraded score board panel. At Sonoma Heights District Park, the existing artificial turf field was replaced and a new scoreboard is being installed.
