Residents of the Fairview Heights area were encouraged to have their say at a public meeting Thursday night.
The meeting, held at the Clements Drive Neighbourhood Park Facility, was focused on developing a master plan for Fairview Heights Neighbourhood Park.
Prairie Wild Consulting and Cushing Terrell Architecture facilitated the meeting, with input being sought from local residents on what the park should look like and the amenities and features it should have going forward as Fairview Heights expands. A water retention pond will be included in the final design.
Participants at the meeting from the neighbourhood filled out cards, answering questions about what they valued most in a park space. Their responses included such items as safety, peacefulness, seating, picnic tables, green space, walking trails and places for sports and activities.
The meeting attracted about 40 people, the vast majority of which came from the immediate area.
The process will lead to development of a master plan for the park. According to the City's documents, this would include both the park's future design and the community-based vision for it.
A survey was also available at https://www.surveymonkey.ca/r/FairviewHeightsPark asking people for input on what they envision for the park.
