*Please see below a media release issued by the City of Burlington.Burlington, Ont.—Aug. 26, 2020 — Construction of Phase 2 of the Lowville Park Master Plan will officially begin Sept. 8, 2020.As of Sept. 8, the parking lot will be closed to all vehicles and visiting the park will no longer require a reservation. The park will remain open but visitors are strongly encouraged to walk or bike to the park as there will only be limited on-street parking at the east end of Lowville Park Drive. There is no other on-street parking in the area; please park according to the parking signage. Vehicles parked in other areas of the road will be ticketed.

"The biggest change people will notice is the improved parking lot with improved drainage including bio-swales, trees and new asphalt. Once this is finished in December, Phase 2 of the Lowville Park Master plan will be complete. It is a great park that has a lot to offer families, nature lovers and anyone who wants to enjoy this beautiful, natural setting. Please bear with us as the parking lot is closed and there are very few parking spaces available on Lowville Park Road." -- Rob Peachey, Manager of Parks and Open Spaces, City of Burlington

Areas of the park under construction will be closed. For your safety, please stay out of the areas marked as closed.The project will include:

  • Picnic areas – renewal of 2 existing picnic areas with improved accessibility
  • Parking lot renewal with new asphalt surface with improved drainage, improved entrance area, additional trees and plants. The number of parking spaces will be kept the same
  • New information signage center to highlight trails and park facilities, including picnic areas

Construction is expected to be completed in December 2020, weather permitting.Visitors are reminded to continue to be vigilant about public health practices and provincial directives to reduce the spread of COVID-19.For more information on the Lowville Park project, please visit burlington.ca/lowvillepark or contact Peggy Lei at 905-335-7600, ext. 7799 or email peggy.lei@burlington.ca.--*Posted by John Bkila's, Mayor's Media and Digital Communications Specialist
