About the project
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.
In 2024 and 2025, the City engaged with the community about potential upgrades to Rosel Park, asking what kinds of park improvements (if any) were desired by the neighbourhood. The project was originally requested by residents in the Old South neighbourhood.
Thank you to everyone who has shared their thoughts about the future of Rosel Park.
What's happening next? - March 2026 project update
The City is now planning to construct the improvements to the park. The upgrades include:
- a new neighbourhood playground
- a concrete pathway
- three accessible benches
- tree planting
The new playground will include swings (two standard belt swings, a toddler swing and one accessible swing), climbing features, slides, and lower-level play elements.
Construction of this project will begin in spring 2026 and is expected to wrap up in early summer. Please note that the schedule is dependent on weather conditions.
This image is an example of the new playground equipment coming soon to Rosel Park. The playground will be constructed this spring. Please note the play equipment colours will differ and feature more natural colours in Rosel Park.
The project team has reviewed community feedback received for Rosel Park in July and August 2025 and have decided to proceed with a small playground (option 2).
The recent input has resulted in the addition of an accessible bench and removal of the concrete plaza. The concept below has been revised to reflect these changes.
The most current Rosel Park concept includes tree plantings, 3 accessible benches, a small playground and a concrete walkway at the north limit of the park.
The concept protects and maintains the open green space (approximately 41% of the total park) that residents identified as important.
This is the final Rosel Park design and construction is expected to begin in 2026.
The project team has reviewed community feedback received for Rosel Park in July and August, 2025 and have decided to proceed with a playground (option 2).The current preferred design concept (Option 2) includes additional trees, a small playground, two picnic tables, a park bench, and a concrete walkway at the north limit of the Park. The concept also protects and maintains the open green space residents have identified as important. Recent input from area residents is being further reviewed by staff to determine if any additional changes to the park design concept is warranted. The final Rosel Park design will be completed and posted on the project webpage
