Notice date: September 23, 2024
About the project
Construction is well underway at the site of the upcoming South End Community Centre. To support construction through the fall and winter, the City is temporarily closing the South End Community Park. The park, located at 25 Poppy Drive West, will close September 30 and will re-open spring 2025.
Park features close September 30
The following South End Community Park features will close on September 30, including all:
- Tennis courts
- Basketball courts
- Asphalt trails
- Nick’s Dragonfly playground
- Larry Pearson baseball diamonds
Full accessibility of the park features cannot be guaranteed during this period of construction and season, and the City has decided to close the park until the spring for public safety.
Security fencing has been installed on-site to prevent further use and will remain in place until the park features reopen in the spring.
Alternative play area locations
Nearby alternative parks and play areas for residents to use include Gosling Gardens Park located at 75 Gosling Gardens, Clair Park located at 22 Eugene Drive and Westminster Woods Park located at 146 Clairfields Drive East. An alternative accessible play area is Royal City Park located on Gordon Street.
A full list of City play areas can be found at guelph.ca/play-areas.
