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:

• Angelina Macri Prokich Park, 5045 Connor Drive, Beamsville
• Ashby Drive Park, 4079 Ashby Drive, Beamsville
• Beamsville Lions Park, 5100 Fly Road, Beamsville
• Charles Daley Park, 1969 North Service Road, Jordan Station
• Elizabeth Street Park, 5083 Elizabeth Street, Beamsville
• Hilary Bald Park, 4485 Garden Date Terrace, Beamsville
• Jack Simpson Park, 4940 Drake Avenue, Beamsville
• Jordan Lions Park, 2793 Fourth Avenue, Jordan Station
• Meadowood Park, 5076 Hartwood Avenue, Beamsville
• Rittenhouse Park, 4003 Azalea Crescent, Vineland
• St. Volodymyr Park, 4560 Cedar Brook Lane, Beamsville
• Village Park, 4261 Village Park Drive, Beamsville

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

Splash Pad Shade at Angelina Prokich Park

To create more shade, a shade sail was added to the pergola by the splash pad at Angelina Macri Prokich Park.

Barbecues

Barbecues for public use have been added by the pavilions at three outdoor permitted parks, including Beamsville Lions Park, Charles Daley Park and Jordan Lions Park.

Pathway Lighting

Eight decorative solar-powered lights have now been installed along the pathways in Angelina Macri Prokich Park.

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. For more information on the Friends of the Park initiative, please leave questions and comments in the box at the bottom of this page. Thank you for considering being a volunteer with the Town of Lincoln's Friend of the Park initiative.
