Public input sought for new Vernon park

The City of Vernon is looking for feedback from the public on plans for a new park on the former Civic Arena site on 37th Avenue.

Located beside the Vernon Visitor Information Centre, a city news release said the new park will be a community destination and neighbourhood amenity.

“The park site is immediately beside the Polson Greenway, which connects pedestrians and cyclists to uptown and downtown locations including Polson Park, Kin Race Track Park, and many other amenities within a 10 minute walk.”

A survey on the design and features is available on the city’s website until July 20.

Once designs are finalized and approved by city council, site preparation and construction could start by this fall following completion of the 30th Street road improvement project.
