W.C. Shelly Park expansion

The future park design, with the expansion to the east, will include spaces that are fun and welcoming to all.

Flexible space

We would keep the existing lawn and add more seating and picnic tables. We would move the centre gathering area benches to the west end to create clear and open paths through the park.

Playground expansion

In addition to expanding the playground, proposed upgrades focus on accessibility improvements, including adding rubber surfacing and introducing accessible play equipment.

Rain garden

A rain garden would separate the playground and new off-leash dog area. The rain garden will filter stormwater and enhance local habitat, while offering a learning opportunity for kids as they watch stormwater in action.

Off-leash dog area

A new dedicated space for off-leash dogs will help us meet the needs of dog owners in the Grandview-Woodland and Mount Pleasant neighbourhoods.

Food and culture garden

The remaining expansion area would be dedicated to a new communal food and culture garden. We would work with community groups to promote communal stewardship of the space.

W.C. Shelly Park is a small (0.3ha) neighbourhood park located one block north and one block west of Commercial and Broadway in the Grandview-Woodland area.

The existing park contains an open lawn area, playground, mature trees, and a number of benches. In 2022, the project site was expanded after the Park Board acquired neighbouring land. This expansion area will be the focus for new park programs and activities. This expansion area is currently planted as a pollinator meadow while we finalize the park design.

The proposed design (PDF, 7.2MB) for W.C. Shelly Park expansion has been developed based on what we have heard in past engagement, along with technical requirements and relevant Park Board policies:

VanPlay identified this as an area with a small urban canopy and high demand for accessible recreation. This expansion will protect the existing mature trees and add new trees to meet the neighbourhood need for a greater urban canopy. To address the need for accessible recreation, we will be expanding the playground and improving it with accessible play surfacing and inclusive play equipment.

The People, Parks, and Dogs Strategy has identified this neighbourhood as an underserved area for off-leash dog parks. We have also heard from many in the community that want to see an off-leash dog area at W.C. Shelly Park. To address this, we have expanded the east side of the park and will be dedicating much of that space to an off-leash dog area.

The Local Food Action Plan identified this as a medium priority area for new local food assets. We plan to provide space for a new communal food and culture garden, which will help address this need, and bring a sense ownership and stewardship of the space to the community.

謝利公園（W.C. Shelly Park）是一個位於加蘭圍-活蘭社區（Grandview-Woodland）佔地 0.3 公頃的小型社區公園，具體位置在 Commercial 和 Broadway 街交匯處附近。

我們正在擴建該公園，以滿足日益增長的綠地需求。此次擴建將為公園引入新項目並更新現有設施。我們希望聽取您對公園未來願景的反饋與建議。
