Thank you to everyone who participated in engagement opportunities for the Rocky Point and Old Orchard Parks Master Plans. The third and final phase of engagement concluded May 20, 2024. City presented a report with Phase 3 public engagement results at the Regular Council Meeting on July 9, 2024. See the agenda package (item 7.5) to view the report and the attached public engagement summary.


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. Your input will help us ensure these unique outdoor spaces can continue to support our community into the future.

Phase 1 engagement

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. Find out what we heard from the community. We used that feedback to develop draft design concepts and proposed actions.

Phase 2 engagement

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 it's not possible to achieve everything. Find out what we heard from the community. Participants’ input was considered – along with technical information and advice provided by subject-matter experts – during the development of a recommended design concept for each park.

Phase 3 engagement

During Phase 3 engagement in April and May 2024, we asked for feedback on a recommended design concept for each park. City staff presented a report with Phase 3 public engagement results at the Regular Council Meeting on July 9, 2024. See the agenda package (item 7.5) to view the report and the attached public engagement summary. Council will consider the complete draft master plans for each park, including the final recommended design concepts, in September/October 2024.

Youth engagement

On May 31, 2024, the City hosted a Youth Open House, an engagement opportunity for youth to provide input on three parks/trails planning projects: Rocky Point Park and Old Orchard Park Master Plans, Parkland Strategy, and Trail Network Plan. City staff will present a summary of engagement results at the Regular Council Meeting on July 23, 2024. See item 7.6 in the July 23 agenda package to view staff’s report and the attached youth engagement summary.

  • CLOSED: This survey has concluded.

    This survey will take approximately 5 to 15 minutes to complete. City staff will compile feedback for anonymous inclusion in a report to Council, which will be accessible to the public. 

    During Phase 2 engagement, we asked for feedback on three draft design concepts for Rocky Point Park and one draft design concept for Old Orchard Park. Participants’ input was considered – along with technical information and advice provided by subject-matter experts – during the development of recommended design concepts. 

    In Phase 3, we’re asking for your feedback on one recommended design concept for Rocky Point Park and one for Old Orchard Park. 

    Please note:

    • at this stage in our engagement process, we’re asking for feedback on each design concept as a whole rather than on specific elements; 
    • the Rocky Point Park Master Plan project is focused on the City-owned land contained within the park’s current boundaries; and
    • traffic and transportation are outside the scope of both master plan projects. 

    Your input is extremely valuable and we thank you in advance for your time.
