Thanks to the CN EcoConnexions - From the Ground Up program, the Gates Lake Enhancement Project is getting underway. Read the news release.
Initial landscaping work will take place from June 22 - 24 and will include aeration, fertilizing and top dressing of the open lawn areas of the park. The park will remain open to the public while the landscaping takes place. However, the top dressing of the lawns will result in dirt over the lawn areas.
The work has been scheduled to occur before the busy season kicks off for the summer, in order to minimize inconvenience to park users.
The community planting of the sloped areas off the parking lot will take place in late August. Project updates will be posted to the Gates Lake Community Park page as the enhancement work continues.
