* Image above depicts approximate layout of the fitness park.
New outdoor fitness equipment, featuring seven exercise stations, is coming to St. Paul’s Park. The project will also include a new asphalt pathway connection, engineered wood fibre surfacing, instructional signage, a bench, bicycle parking, and additional trees. Initial site preparation has begun. Site preparation will continue through early May. Tree planting is anticipated to take place in phases throughout late May and early June. Installation of the fitness equipment is expected from late May into early June, followed by paving work in early June. Final landscaping, including tree plantings (Red Maple, Black Cherry, Shagbark Hickory, Common Hackberry, and Black Walnut), topsoil, and sodding, is expected to wrap up in mid-June, with the project nearing completion shortly thereafter. Work timelines are weather dependent. Project updates will continue to be shared as they become available.
The pathway will remain open during construction. Signage is installed at both entrances to the park. Flaggers will be present when trucks and heavy equipment enter and exit the site. Entry will be from the Donald Street side of the park.
