Make Your Mark on Innisfil Beach Park

Council approved the Final Concept for Innisfil Beach Park on May 24, 2023 through report DSR-058-23. The design for Phase 1 is currently underway and expected to be completed in 2024/2025, with construction scheduled for 2025/2026.

Based on the Innisfil Beach Park Master Plan 2020 and public input, the Innisfil Beach Park Concept contains 49 projects phased over the next 20 years. The improvements include connections into the park that will ease traffic congestion, beach area enhancements, and new amenities in underutilized areas to maximize the use of the parkland and increase local park use during off-peak times.

Past engagement

A virtual Public Information Centre was launched on October 28, 2022 to introduce the project and provide people with an opportunity to review the alternative site plan solutions developed to address challenges, constraints, and opportunities affecting the park. A survey ran until November 28, 2022.

We also held a Public Open House on January 18, 2023 for people to view the park concepts, ask questions, provide comments, and vote on their preferred concepts. The open house was followed by a Special Council Meeting, which included a staff presentation, open forum, and council discussion.
