Consultation has concluded
Thank you for your participation!
Summit Park is located at 98 Lorne Card Drive in Paris. Summit Park faces Rest Acres Road and will be linked to the multi-use trail that will be constructed on the east side of the road.
The park is named Summit Park for its stunning views from the top of the property. You can see all the way to County Road 25 from this vantage point. Please see concept plan and proposed features below.
The concept plan includes planned features such as:
Woodland theme playground with concrete curb

The park is named Summit Park for its stunning views from the top of the property. You can see all the way to County Road 25 from this vantage point. Please see concept plan and proposed features below.
The concept plan includes planned features such as:
Woodland theme playground with concrete curb
Pavilion on concrete paving, with two-tier armour stone seating
3m wide asphalt park pathway that meets up with the multi-use trail
Low Impact Development rain garden
An ornamental black fence installed along most of Rest Acres Road, acting as a level of protection from the busy street
Connecting walking trails from Card Drive and Tom Brown Drive to Rest Acres Road
Opportunity to develop future nature trails
A good portion of this park will remain in its natural state, which will preserve the existing trees at the rear of the property.
The budget for Summit Park is $143,000. New parks are supported through County of Brant development charges that account for 90% of the budget, with the municipality covering the remainder of the costs.

Considering the entire parcel was woodland prior to the development of the area I would like to see a naturalized feature adjacent to the remaining treed area. An oak savannah or native wildflower corridor would make the most sense for the available area, aesthetics and future trail impact.

Perhaps there is room for a 'no-mow zone' or two to allow for natural/native species to regenerate in small defined areas. Could also house a bird house or feeder.

I’d like to see school children participate in the design. Maybe it will be artwork or choices of play space design. It’s for them so they should get a say. Also a learning component for what is in the woodlot such as birds or bugs they can identify.
