We are looking for ways to improve water quality and reduce flood risks through stormwater measures at Countryside Park. We thank the community for your participation while we look for a design solution that:
reduces future flood risks
protects and improves water quality
is technically workable
fits into current park uses
and fits within the project budget
We want to understand how Countryside Park is currently used and what’s important to you in your park experiences. This will help us to better integrate the stormwater facilities into the park space.
For more information on this project, please read the project background.
Construction is expected to begin in 2028 and is estimated to be complete by 2030.
