Share What is happening with the passive park up the street from Ashby in the Cherry Heights Neighborhood? I was told the money from that the cherry heights development initially earmarked for that park was used towards the additions to the Ashby park, but there have been excavators levelling the area for 2 weeks at the passive park location. I've looked online for a plan, or any information at all and there is nothing to be found.. Is there an official plan with photos for the new passive park in the same neighborhood?

The Town received cash-in-lieu of parkland from the developer to be used for the park enhancements at Ashby Drive Park since the greenspace within the Cherry Heights development has some built limitations. As part of the subdivision agreement, the developer will also be installing a passive and serene park within the greenspace in the Cherry Heights development.
Share Any possibility of adding a couple of bocce courts to the Ashby Drive Park? Several of our neighbours would join us in using it regularly. on FacebookShare Any possibility of adding a couple of bocce courts to the Ashby Drive Park?

Thank you for your comment. The current enhancements plan for Ashby Drive Park does not include budget for installing bocce courts at this time, however staff are always glad to receive resident input for consideration of future installations.
