We’re excited to share an early look at the next phase of development in our park space. While construction hasn’t begun yet, plans are in motion for a new walking path that will create a beautiful, welcoming environment for everyone to enjoy.
This phase will include:
There will be space for just 13 benches along the path. Two have already been spoken for, and several others are expected to be reserved quickly. Some may be installed as early as this year, depending on interest.
If you’ve ever considered dedicating a bench in memory of someone or as a way to celebrate your family’s connection to this community, now is a great time to get involved.
Leave a lasting mark in a space designed for reflection, connection, and community pride.
Commemorate a significant birthday, anniversary, retirement, special event or the passing of a loved one by participating in the Park Bench Donation Program.
The Winakwa Community Centre is excited to announce plans to revitalize its underutilized 4-acre lawn, transforming it into a vibrant, multi-use park. We will be constructing a granular walkway around the lawn and a central paved path, spanning approximately 0.5 km. In addition, we will plant trees, shrubs, and prairie gardens, complemented by benches and picnic tables for visitors to enjoy.
A key feature of the park's renewal is the addition of a large 40'x40' octagonal outdoor shelter, designed to host community events and gatherings. We also plan to create a cultural gathering space with a central fire pit, intended for Indigenous ceremonies and community connection.
This new park will provide a dynamic outdoor space for youth and families, encouraging physical activity, social interaction, and a strong sense of community.
Construction will begin in 2025. To mark the start of this exciting project, we are hosting a blessing of the land and a naming ceremony for our new Path and Park Project with Elder Billie Schibler.
