4.3.4 Coronation Park
Coronation Park was identified as an area of opportunity to increase use. Currently the park has a new playground, green space, a disc golf course, community garden, parking lot, and access to the Carroll trail. The primary concern regarding developing the Park is that it occasionally floods, and on two occasions has been completely submerged. At the same time, Coronation Park is an asset to the community, as a large green space towards the south of Town, where parks are more limited. There are existing plans to expand the community garden area to add more plots, and this would be beneficial for residents and a suitable use for the Park. The Town should limit any developments at this park that conflict with its natural processes and that would be at risk for damage if flooding occurs. The Town should have the site assessed by a Landscape Architect and, if determined to be feasible, undertake grading work to protect existing assets (such as the playground and community garden plots) in the event of flooding. Recommendation
PCT 17. Continue with plans to add additional community garden plots at Coronation Park. PCT 18. Assess the feasibility of
undertaking grading work to protect existing assets at Coronation Park from flooding.
