PARK PROGRAM
Better Quality of Life Through Community Engagement​
Program Announcement: Parks and Common City Property
Équipe CDN-NDG Team is focused on community needs and the basic tasks of running a borough that unfortunately are either not done or else done in a manner that does not meet current standards. CDN-NDG has very little green space as compared to other boroughs. It is important that we properly maintain our intensively used green spaces(parks) and leverage these assets to provide for a better quality of life. Therefore, we propose:
-
Purchasing proper garbage bins with lids to keep wildlife out, for our parks.
-
Proper maintenance of our parks, which includes:
-
Regular and proper cutting of grass and trimming around trees and other obstacles (Not currently done)
-
Proper maintenance of the borough’s flower beds and trees/shrubs.
-
Weekend maintenance of parks when they are used most intensively. (Not done as per the borough mayor’s recent admission)
-
Clean restroom facilities.
-
​
-
Extending Park chalet hours to accommodate:
-
families who ice skate into the evening so that they can change in and out of their skates.
-
Late night summer park activities and sporting events​
-
-
Establish outdoor cooling stations and sunshades so residents can keep cool on hot summer days.
-
Be sure that park fountains are in good working order.
-
Provide access to water for resident’s canine companions.
-
Establishing a program that would allow residents to use city flower beds.
-
Posting a hotline for park visitors to call to report any problems with our green spaces.
​
We propose creating a “Parc O Rama” - park events on a regular basis throughout the year. During the recent winter pandemic lockdown, our local party set up music, and decorative lights at rinks to lift people’s spirits. The events were a success and inspired us to create the “parc O Rama”, roaming events that would visit ice rinks in the borough and bring music, food, hot drinks, and cheer to CDN-NDG families.
