Have your say on design elements for the new Carrville Community Centre, Library and District Park

Citizens are invited to attend the City of Vaughan’s first-ever virtual Public Information Session on Thursday, July 9 at 7 p.m. to learn more about the Carrville Community Centre, Library and District Park project and give feedback on the proposed design option from the safety of their homes. 

This future multi-use community hub, which will combine spaces for play, learning, fitness and sport, will be built on a 7.52-hectare parcel of land bordered by Major Mackenzie Drive (to the north), Valley Vista Drive (to the south), Thomas Cook Avenue (to the west) and Toronto Region and Conservation Authority-regulated valley lands and associated watercourse (to the east).   

Attendees of the virtual Public Information Session will have the opportunity to view the proposed design renderings that reflect functionality, accessibility, sustainability, urban and architectural design features. Through public consultation during a previous phase of the project, desired amenities were identified, including aquatic facilities; a fitness centre; a gymnasium; activity rooms; gathering spaces; a neighbourhood branch library; tennis courts; a basketball court; an accessible playground; a splashpad or water play space; a skate trail; outdoor fitness and activity areas; and open space and trails. This phase of public consultation will focus on the design concept being shared.   

Citizens who would like to attend the virtual session can register for their spot online. A link to the online information session will be provided in advance of the event to all registered guests. After the session, participants will have the opportunity to provide feedback via an online survey. A link to the survey will also be made available at vaughan.ca/CarrvilleCC for those who cannot attend. 

Once complete, this new building and park space will further connect the community while enhancing and enriching the quality of life for those who live and play in this fast-growing neighbourhood. The project also reflects the City’s commitment to fostering active, safe and diverse communities that are environmentally sustainable and inclusive as outlined in the 2018-2022 Term of Council Service Excellence Strategic Plan and the 2018 Active Together Master Plan. 

The City recognizes the importance of protecting citizens from the global COVID-19 pandemic, while also continuing to move the city forward. Public consultation remains an important part of the planning and city-building process. This virtual Public Information Session is just one of the ways residents can have their say until in-person meetings are permitted.
