What We Heard

Thank you to everyone who attended the Burford King Street Parkette Open House on March 5, 2025, and to those who shared their thoughts online!

Following the Open House, we also posted two draft concept designs for the community to review and vote on. We received 41 survey responses, and 59% of participants chose Concept 2 as their preferred design.

But the feedback didn’t stop at just picking a favourite. Many of you shared helpful suggestions to improve the space — and we listened.

Key Themes From Your Feedback

• Move the pedestrian kiosk closer to the sidewalk to improve visibility and access.
• Relocate the shade structure to the back of the site to open up space for community events and gatherings.
• Maximize greenspace while maintaining accessibility was a high priority.
• Create a shade structure that reflects a small-town charm rather than a modern aesthetic.
• Add a small play element to better serve families and young children.
