The City is developing new parkland on the former Napier Street/St. Joseph and St. Mary school site at 671 Brock St. The new parkland will connect adjacent Churchill Park and incorporate Napier St. once it has been closed to vehicular traffic.

The proposed final concept reflects feedback from public consultation which took place in 2018, and includes amenities such as flexible play spaces, pathway connections, landscaping and play equipment offering play experiences not found in other nearby parks.

For any accessibility feedback related to the proposed improvements please contact csames@cityofkingston.ca (in accordance with Ontario Regulation 191/11).
