Dingman Sports Park
The City of London is engaging with the community on the future of a new south-west district sports park, Dingman Sports Park.
This marks the beginning of the project and formal public engagement. Please share your comments through the online feedback form.
About the project
The City of London has initiated a process to support the development of a new outdoor sports park at 3460 Dingman Drive. This park is being developed to help meet demand for rectangular sports fields, to provide tournament facilities with easy access from Hwy 401 and Hwy 402, and to provide recreation benefits that support forecasted residential growth in South London. The subject site provides the opportunity to develop a park that fills these needs, while protecting and enhancing existing ecological features, managing stormwater, and promoting environmental education consistent with the recommendations from the 2019 Parks and Recreation Master Plan.
Later in the fall of 2025, the City will engage the community through this website regarding the challenges and opportunities on the site, as well as alternative design solutions that respond to those site conditions.
Background information about Dingman Sports Park
Dingman Sports Park is located at 3640 Dingman Drive, in the south-west corner of London.
The City of London purchased this land to provide more recreational opportunities for Londoners. This is consistent with the recommendations of the 2019 Parks and Recreation Master Plan.
The site is 13.5 hectares (or just over 33 acres) and is currently being used as agricultural farmland. The site also contains a significant woodland along the northern boundary, and several environmental features such as wetlands, and wildlife habitat.
Also bisecting the site is a Hydro One corridor that runs from east to west through the south end of the site.
The City will explore opportunities for sport-related infrastructure, followed by other suitable park amenities on an as-needed basis and that are affordable within the project budget. Park amenities may include but are not limited to rectangular sports fields, lighting, field house, parking, pathways, cricket batting cages, playground, pickleball court(s), basketball court(s), environmental protection, storm water management, phasing and servicing.
