Latest Park Updates

Resurfacing Lincoln's Play Spaces - Now Completed

Outdoor community play spaces provide flexible, unstructured play opportunities for Lincoln's children and youth. For a play space to fully serve the community, it must consider abilities of all levels. Play space surfaces are one of the most important components in designing safe, accessible spaces. Rubber surfacing enables children and youth of varying abilities to participate and socialize with their peers through play.

Through the Government of Canada and the Government of Ontario's ICIP: Community Culture and Recreation - Rehabilitation and Renovation Grant Funding, the Town of Lincoln has resurfaced all mulch play spaces with poured in place rubber, including:

Additionally, the multi-use court at Ashby Drive Park was resurfaced with asphalt through this grant funding.

Friends of the Park Initiative

The Friends of the Park initiative is a new grassroots program that is designed for frequent park users to volunteer their time to aid in reporting park concerns, sharing ideas on park enhancements and being the community connection on upcoming park events.

Goals of the Initiative

  • Provides opportunities for residents to gather with friends, family and each other to build a sense of community and maintain the friendliness of the neighbourhood.
  • Ensures parks and open spaces are welcoming, safe and provides a range of opportunities for all ages.
  • Provides a connection to Town staff for reporting park conditions or safety concerns.

Responsibilities of being a "Friend" could include notifying Town Staff of safety concerns or park conditions when they are in the park, picking up litter and being a liaison between park users and town staff for new initiatives or upcoming events in the park.

How to become a friend:

Residents can sign up to be a park friend by completing the online form or by picking up a paper copy at the Fleming Centre or Town Hall. Once the form has been completed, residents will receive a welcome package which includes general information about the program and details outlining the responsibilities of a park friend.

  • Share Hello, there was a pond at Charles Daley Park since the 60s, with a sand bar separating the 15 mile creek from Lake Ontario where my family and I could enjoy some shade and a swim. The pond was home to a variety of birds, turtles and aquatic plants. Recently, all the vegetation was removed from the sand bar, causing it to erode into the lake. The pond and wildlife are gone and the creek now spills directly into the lake all the discharge flowing into it from the various farms located up-steram. I wonder as to the motivation for having removed the sand bar and pond ecosystem.

    Thank you for your question. The erosion of the Lake Ontario shoreline is a concern for both community members and the municipality.

    The sand bar erosion was a naturally occurring event that has happened over several years due to natural weather patterns, some of which can be attributed to the effects of climate change. 

    Please note that the Town of Lincoln has not removed any vegetation from the sand bar. Any fallen or damaged trees due to flooding events (e.g. in 2017 or 2019) or that posed a health and safety risk would have been removed after the flooding event.

    This interactive StoryMap (If Coastlines Could Talk: A Story of Lincoln, ON) was created based on research coming out of Brock University to explain and visualize the erosion that has occurred along the coastline since 1934; and there is even a small section focused on Charles Daley Park. Some relevant points are:

    • The section of the Lincoln coastline that includes Charles Daley Park experienced an average erosion rate of 0.17, 0.54, and 0.42 metres/year, respectively, from 1934 to 2018 with some sections eroding up to 0.76 metres/year during this time.
    • The beach areas have retreated much more overall than other areas of the coastline, and the areas surrounding where creeks are entering the lake are particularly vulnerable to erosion.
    • Recent storms have led to major flooding and damage to the coastline in the area. It is anticipated that this trend will continue based on global and federal predictions of increased storm events.

    We continue to work with our partners including Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority and upper levels of government to address lakeshore and shoreline protection. We seek funding opportunities as they become available to mitigate further erosion and address ongoing concerns.

    As per the Municipal Park's By-law, barbecues are not permitted in any Town of Lincoln parks. 

    In 2022, the Town installed barbecues for public use in Charles Daley Park, Beamsville Lions Park and Jordan Lions Park. Ashes are to be disposed of in the designated containers on site.

    The developer is currently working on site preparations within the greenspace for a passive and serene park as it has some built limitations.
