Eastview Park Improvements Project

We're taking steps to make Eastview Park welcoming and 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.

Project Update — October 2024

Following Council’s direction, we are developing a renewal plan for Eastview Park to make disc golf the primary recreational focus of the park, while minimizing impacts on other users.

We are currently in the process of requesting proposals for a qualified consultant team, including a disc golf course designer and a landscape architect, to support the development of concept designs for the park. The designs should prioritize:

• The safety of all park visitors
• Park trails and circulation
• The health of the forest ecology
• Best practices in disc golf design to ensure the course is both challenging and enjoyable.

Next spring 2025, the public will have the opportunity to provide input on the concept designs, which will help shape the final park design.

Future updates will continue to be shared on this page. To receive notifications about upcoming engagement opportunities, please subscribe via the ‘Stay Informed’ box in the right sidebar.

Background

In early 2023, Council directed staff to evaluate options for Eastview Park that consider the long-term sustainability of the park, safety, reduction of conflict between park uses and the possibility of relocation of the existing disc golf course.

Between June and July 2023, we launched a public engagement process to help us understand: 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. This engagement included two community workshops, two park pop-ups and a survey. The results of the public engagement can be viewed in the What We Heard Report.

Between spring and fall 2023, staff also undertook research to explore the possible relocation of disc golf to another City park, a site analysis specific to Eastview and a comparative overview of other disc golf facilities in the region.

On March 4, 2024, we presented our recommendations to Council. During the meeting, Council directed staff to develop a plan for Eastview Park to make disc golf the primary recreational focus of the park, while mitigating the impacts on other users as much as possible.
