Making Eastview Park more enjoyable for everyone
Eastview Park is located on the eastern boundary of the City between Rufus Drive and Mountain Highway. This 2.8 hectare neighbourhood park is accessed for its wooded walking trails, open spaces and disc golf course, and has experienced conflicts between different park users in the past. As a result, in early 2023, City Council directed staff to advance improvements to the space.
Two phases of public engagement have informed the design. In June and July of 2023, community members shared what is working well today in the park, what could be improved, and what would people like to see for the future of the park. The results of the public engagement can be viewed in the Phase 1 What We Heard Report.
After being directed by Council to make disc golf the primary recreational focus of the park, staff went out to the public again in June and July of 2025. Phase 2 engagement activities shared proposed concepts for Eastview Park and gathered the community's feedback. Click on the images below to review the boards presented in Phase 2.
The detailed results from the engagement are shared in the Phase 2 Engagement Report.
Staff moved forward to a final design based on the "Loop" concept. This concept was identified as the one that best met design principles through engagement. The final design features additional adjustments that integrate feedback gathered from the public, such as the need to better separate different park uses. The final concept will be shared with City Council and the public when complete.
The park improvement plan is based on four core principles informed by Phase 1 engagement, site analysis and Council direction. The principles are:
- Ensuring safety for all visitors
- Improving trails and circulation
- Supporting a healthy forest ecology
- Creating a thoughtful disc golf experience suitable for a neighborhood park
