Councillor’s Corner - July 2015

Dear Friends,

As the summer season is finally upon us and in full swing, I hope you all have had an opportunity to take advantage of the fantastic summer weather we have had so far this year by visiting one of the many beautiful parks in Ward 7.

If you haven’t had the opportunity, I strongly encourage you and your families to spend some time and enjoy the many wonderful parks and amenities Ward 7 has to offer.

Whether your interests include playing sports such as baseball, basketball, tennis, soccer or even just playing some bocce, you’ll have a great time enjoying the many amenities our parks offer. Engage in a game of baseball in either St. Lucie or Lanyard park. If tennis is your sport, tennis courts can be found at both Lanyard and Gracedale Parks.

If you’re looking to spend some time playing bocce, be sure to visit one of the many bocce courts located at Habitant, Plunkett, and Gracedale Parks.

Soccer fields are also available and can be found at Roundtree Mills Park, or, if you’re just looking to take in the scenery and find some bike trails, Roundtree Mills Park and its 15 bike trails along the banks of the Humber River is a great place to explore.

There are also many family oriented amenities that can be found within the beautiful parks of Ward 7. If you’re looking to cool off this summer and have some fun in the water, be sure to check out the splashpads at Gracedale, Lanyard and Chalkfarm parks.

Playgrounds are available as well and can be found at Lanyard and Bluehaven parks.

Finally, if you’re looking to have a good old fashioned picnic, I strongly encourage you and your families to spend the day at Plunkett, Lanyard, Gracedale, or even Roundtree Mills Park and enjoy the weather and make some memories.

Wishing you all a safe and happy summer!

Ward 7 Councillor
