The community is invited to review the updated concept plan for a new district-level park located along the north side of the Jock River in Barrhaven West (Ward 3) and to provide feedback on the overall design, as well as input on specific design elements. While all comments and suggestions will be carefully considered, not all may be feasible due to budget, space limitations, or technical constraints. Your input is greatly appreciated.

Please note that a significant portion of the park lies within the Jock River’s 100-year floodplain or includes natural features such as steep slopes, forested areas, and ravines. These features enhance the natural environment but may limit opportunities for the development of built recreational amenities.

There are 3 available documents available for download, as a PDF, in the “Document Library” on the right-hand side of this page:

  1. The proposed Water’s Bend Park overall concept plan, representative images of the proposed amenities, and a more detailed dog park layout
  2. Play equipment & splash pad – Option 1
  3. Play equipment & splash pad – Option 2

The park will be developed in accordance with the City’s Accessibility Design Standards.
