Riverside Crossing Park

Riverside Crossing Park Master Plan Update

In 2023, City Council approved the Parks and Recreation Master Plan (PRMP). As part of this, an updated master plan for Riverside Crossing Park has been recommended, incorporating features based on community feedback such as event lawn improvements, paths, kayak livery and a climbing wall. This planning phase involves significant collaboration with MKSK Studios and considers integrating the park with nearby developments to enhance accessibility and use, including unique solutions for elevation and floodplain challenges.
