Block 18 District Park - Park Visioning Public Open House - December 2019

The City of Vaughan’s Parks and Open Space Planning division initiated public engagement for this project by hosting a Block 18 District Park - Park Visioning Public Open House session in December 2019. This was an opportunity for Vaughan residents and City staff to share ideas and provide input on the new park programming. An online survey accompanied the Open House which ran from Nov. 7, 2019 to Feb. 1, 2020 seeking ideas and preferences for the new district park. Approximately 60 persons attended the in-person open house and 598 persons participated in the online survey.
