purpose space, cultural space, and other amenities, along with outdoor walking trails, are all part of the overall plans. There are also many sporting groups and associations who are in talks with the Town of Stratford to partner on this exciting development. This development is the largest undertaking of our community and will be a gem for residents to be proud of, as well as a gathering place for the community. MICHAEL THOMAS WATERFRONT PARK Another exciting project underway in the Town of Stratford is the development of Michael Thomas Waterfront Park. After the decommissioning of the sewer lagoons from the site a couple of years ago, the space has been reclaimed and is being developed as a signature park for the community to gather in and enjoy, through all four seasons. The current trail system in place is being upgraded with a wooden boardwalk installed. There are three lookouts with benches included in this phase of the project to allow park users to enjoy the views looking over the water. Electrical outlets and lighting will provide for use in the evenings and for seasonal events, and the wooden boardwalk will extend to encompass the existing area surrounding the Michael Thomas
fountain providing further access to it. Further phases are proposed to include a marketplace plaza; additional trails, gardens, and plantings; future extension of the boardwalk; and other mixed-use developments in the general area. The Town of Stratford has a long history of being a welcoming and diverse community. One where residents of all backgrounds, ages, abilities, and other characteristics enjoy a community life that is rich, celebrated and offers a variety of activities and interests for everyone. Come check us out!
