Fairview Park Community Vision

With the help of our consultants, SGL Planning and Design Inc. and ASI Heritage, a community vision and master plan has been created for Fairview Park and John Page Park, including a conceptual layout and implementation strategy. The Fairview Park Community Vision Master Plan, attached in the documents section of this page, is the culmination of both a comprehensive background study and an extensive community engagement campaign. The Fairview Park Community Vision Master Plan was presented to Council for consideration at their regularly scheduled meeting on July 22, 2024.

At the meeting of July 22, 2024, Council tabled an amended Recommendation that expedites the timeline for completion of park upgrades to five to six years and deferred the decision to the meeting of Sept. 9, 2024.

Background

The project study area is located north of the QEW, bounded by Scott Street to the north and Geneva Street to the east. The 6.7-hectare parcel encompasses both the former Fairview Golf & Mini Putt lands (commonly referred to as Fairview Park) and neighbouring John Page Park. A section of the historic Third Welland Canal is buried beneath the park, with remnants of a swing bridge visible along the western boundary.

Since the operation of Fairview Golf and Mini Putt ceased in 2015, the park has been used primarily for passive recreation. In addition to playground equipment and its expansive open spaces, the park now includes a labyrinth and hard-surfaced connections between Scott Street, Geneva Street, and Fairview Mall.
