Castle Downs Park is an important District Park in the ward, where people from all over the city come to enjoy the amenities.
My office has had several calls and emails with concerns over Castle Downs Park - including the areas with the playground, spray park, picnic sites, gazebo, rink, sports fields, and parking lot to access the playground.
I’m happy to update residents that I've worked with the City on a comprehensive plan to improve the safety, liveability, and vibrancy of Castle Downs Park, so it is an inviting place for Edmontonians.
While all the details of the work underway cannot be shared at this time due to collaboration with community partners such as EPS, here are some things that have recently happened and that you’ll notice:
The parking lot was refreshed with concrete curbs, pavement markings, improved security lighting and signage.
Increased security, including a pilot of a security monitoring system.
Updates to the basketball Courts
Art decals, selected with consultation with the Castle Downs Recreation Society on waste bins and spray park controller.
New playground, trailhead, and park entrance signage.
Thank you to all who’ve connected with my office - this is what truly helps me bring these concerns forward and represent this area. Let me know what you think of the changes so far.
