Rosel Park
The City of London Parks Design & Construction Section is considering improvements to Rosel Park and would like to hear your feedback.
Rosel Park is located at 21 Rosel Crescent, within a neighbourhood that is currently underserved for parkland. Rosel Park serves residents that live within approximately 800 meters, or a ten-minute walk. Prior to making decisions, the City of London would like to hear from residents to ensure Rosel Park reflects neighbourhood needs, while providing an inclusive and enjoyable space for all.
Thank you to all the participants who filled out our online feedback form, which was available on this page from November 5 until December 16, 2024.
Subject to further public input, this project could create an updated and welcoming space for the neighbourhood through the implementation of new park amenities and tree plantings, while still maintaining the parks open grass space that residents have grown to appreciate. Implementation of this project would also help achieve objectives outlined in the City's Parks and Recreation Master Plan.
To support engagement efforts in 2024, the Parks Design & Construction Section had generated four preliminary design concepts to help inspire ideas and suggestions from area residents. These four concepts represented a range of ideas that could be implemented. Please find these concepts in the sidebar to the right, under the title "Preliminary design concepts". (It should be noted that more intense uses, such as spray pads, tennis and pickleball courts, are not suitable for this small park space.)
Your feedback
The City received more than 180 responses to last fall's feedback form, "Have your say about Rosel Park!"
Approximately 60% of the public responses received through the 2024 survey requested amenities such as a small neighbourhood playground/swings, seating and trees be added to Rosel Park. The City also heard from residents that it would be important to adjust the previously proposed designs, so that the park’s central open grass space is not impacted by new pathways, amenities, and/or tree planting.
Based on your feedback, the City has revised and updated two park concepts and is seeking further feedback from the community.
We look forward to hearing your thoughts! Click or tap each image for a closer look.
(Please note these design concepts are approximations, and they are subject to change upon collection of public feedback.)
Do nothing: Plant a few additional trees while leaving the central grass space open for unprogrammed activities and play.
Neighbourhood Park: Plant new trees, add benches, a concrete pathway running from east to west through the park and a small seating area. Build a small playground circle that will include accessible play equipment and swings for children aged 2-12 years old. Maintain open grass space for unprogrammed activities and play.
The feedback form is available until Wednesday, July 30, 2025.
