Proudmore Romina Park, phase 2: New Park Development

The City is looking for your feedback on the proposed plan and recreation equipment for the phase 2 addition to Proudmore Romina Park in Ward 23 (Kanata South). The new portion of the park is located to the east and south of the existing park and is approximately 1.0 hectares in area.

When considering the proposed equipment for Proudmore Romina Park, it is important to be aware of the equipment that already exists in the park as well as other parks nearby. The location map (available via link on the right side of the screen) shows Proudmore Romina Park in relation to the surrounding parks.

Proudmore Romina Park currently contains the following amenities:

Play structures (designed for ages 2 – 12 years old)

• Swing set (including 2x belt swings, 1x toddler swing, 1x accessible bucket swing)
• A sand play area
• A basketball court
• A shade shelter
• A small sports field which also provides room for ‘free play’
• A small hill
• Park furniture (benches & trash receptacle), and
• A series of pathways connecting all of the amenities together and to the sidewalks.

To help increase the diversity of equipment and recreation opportunities in the local parks, the amenities being proposed for phase 2 of Proudmore Romina Park include teen and adult focused equipment, including a tennis and pickleball court, a climbing structure, and umbrella tables for seating; a larger hill for tobogganing is also proposed. The new park amenities will be accessed by a new park path and will be connected to the neighbourhood sidewalk system. The design will comply with the City of Ottawa Accessibility Design Standards.

Please note that while the edge between the existing park and phase 2 may be slightly affected, it is not being proposed to disturb or change the existing park, and the existing amenities, during the construction of phase 2.

You can download and review the Proudmore Romina Park concept plan (which shows the overall proposed park design) and the proposed equipment and park furniture in the ‘Document Library’ on the right.

Take the survey below to provide your feedback. The survey will be open until Monday, October 21st.
