The Vancouver Park Board is currently in the planning stage for the renewal of Collingwood Park. Many of the features in the park are nearing the end of their lifespan and will need to be replaced or improved as part of the renewal. Potential features to be upgraded or replaced include the playground, sports court, wading pool, washrooms, paths, seating, and plantings.


What's happening?

A concept design for the park was developed based on community feedback gathered during a first round of consultation in May 2022. This report summarizes the feedback we received on the proposed concept during the second round of engagement in November/December 2022. Please see the Phase 2 Engagement Boards for the concept design and more information.

The Board approved the revised concept on March 27th 2023. We are now developing construction drawings based on the approved concept. When these drawings are complete we will be asking contractors to bid on constructing the project. Work is anticipated to begin late this year.

The Vancouver Board of Parks and Recreation acknowledges, with respect, that our parks are located on the unceded territories of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh peoples.

    In this first round of engagement, from May 20 - June 9, 2022, we were looking to understand the community's vision for the renewed park. Over 600 people contributed through an online survey and pop-up in the park. The survey asked questions about how they use the park and what they would like to see in the future.

    Based on what we heard in Phase 1 engagement, the publics' feedback was used to develop design concepts to present back to the community for review and feedback in the fall. To read results, please see: Phase 1 Engagement Summary.

  • Why are we renewing Collingwood Park?

    Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Linkedin Email this link

    Collingwood Park is a 1.27 hectare park in the Renfrew-Collingwood neighbourhood, two blocks north of Kingway. Through the VanPlay(External link) Initiative zone assessment, this area was identified as having low amounts of park space per resident, high demand for affordable and accessible recreation, and fewer street/park trees compared to other areas in the city.

    Many of the features in the park are nearing the end of their lifespan and will need to be replaced or improved as part of the renovation, in order to support a vibrant and growing community. Features to be upgraded or replaced include the playground, sports court, wading pool, pathways, field drainage and planting.

    Key existing features and infrastructure in the park that are well loved and used by park users:
