City staff will be hosting a “pop-up” consultation during the market and corn roast event at New Edinburgh Park on July 27, from 10 am to 1 pm, weather permitting. This is part of a series of pop-ups the City is holding in Ottawa parks. Residents will have the opportunity to speak with City staff about the Parks and Facilities Bylaw review. Staff want to gather park users’ feedback and see how people use the park and its amenities. This review is intended to consider more substantive changes to the bylaw to reflect evolving community and emerging user needs, as well as updates to terminology and administrative changes. The Parks and Facilities By-law addresses a wide variety of topics to ensure indoor and outdoor recreational amenities are used for their intended purpose, are kept in good condition and contribute to the safety, accessibility and enjoyment of these spaces. The key priorities staff aim to address in the by-law through this review are: Public safety, maintaining green spaces, application to amenities, equal opportunity and alcohol in parks. Participate in the online survey by August 2. More details as well as dates and locations of other pop-ups are posted on Engage Ottawa.
