Rocky Point and Old Orchard Parks Master Plans

Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Linkedin Email this link

We’re drafting a comprehensive update to the existing Rocky Point Park Master Plan (adopted in 2000) and developing a new master plan to guide upgrades for Old Orchard Park. Both plans will provide a framework for decision-making over the next 10 years.

Help shape the future of Rocky Point and Old Orchard parks! Your input will help us ensure these unique outdoor spaces can continue to support our community into the future.

During Phase 1 engagement in July and August 2022, we asked participants how they use Rocky Point and Old Orchard parks today, and what they want the parks to be like in the future. We used that feedback to develop draft design concepts and proposed actions.

During Phase 2 engagement in October and November 2023, we asked for feedback on the draft design concepts: three for Rocky Point Park, and one for Old Orchard Park. We also asked participants to share their thoughts on how we should prioritize potential improvements, as we won’t be able to achieve everything. Thank you to everyone who filled out our community surveys, participated in our online information session (October 25, 2023), or attended our in-person open house (October 26, 2023).

Your input will inform the refinement of draft master plans which will be shared with Council in early 2024. The public will then have a chance to review the draft master plans, ask questions, and offer comments during Phase 3 engagement in spring 2024.

    Traffic and parking continue to be a huge issue in this area, how will this be addressed as part of the plan? Evening rush hour traffic is impacted by the high volume of use in this area, this cannot be ignored.

    Thank you for your question and comments. We will share them with the project team and Council. In addition to the master plans project, the City is conducting an updated assessment of park spaces and developing plans for strategic renewal so that we can improve community well-being, social equity, and the resiliency of the parks’ natural habitats. It should be noted however that traffic/transportation is outside the scope of the master plans project, and transportation related issues will be addressed via other mechanisms such as the Master Transportation Plan, Transportation Committee, and Neighbourhood Traffic Calming Policy. All of these comments will be noted to our Engineering team.

    As it says in the introduction to the parks surveys, "As the region’s population grows, however, these parks face intensifying usage pressures which can lead to heightened stress on aging infrastructure and the natural environment." The main reason there is increased population is the unremitting access to development the council is allowing, seemingly without attention to the traffic and other infrastructure impact this excess will require. In trying to save the Rocky Point area from becoming a little island of green space in a concrete jungle of development, what besides money is being valued by the council?

    Thank you for your comments. We will share them with the project team and Council.

We will be reaching out to the public later this year. Public participation in this process will help to ensure that these unique outdoor spaces can continue to support our diverse community into the future. Survey responses will help us understand the community's values and hopes for the future, so they can be reflected in the framework that will guide future planning and decision-making around park facilities, trails, and open spaces.
