What's Happening
The City of Peterborough is inviting residents to learn about the proposed redevelopment of Knights of Columbus Park and provide feedback. The park is located at 5 Park Street North in Ward 3.
In 2024, Phase 1 work will include the development of 4 tennis courts and associated lighting. In 2025, Phase 2 work is proposed to provide a washroom building, pet exercise area, Legacy Bowl upgrades and shade structure.
City parks will incorporate features for all ages with a focus on improving accessibility within the parks.
Knights of Columbus Park was identified as a priority project in the City's Parks and Outdoor Recreation Facility Study that identified key objectives to improve and expand opportunities to support recreation across the City. Completion of this project will support the provision strategies as outlined in the report.
