Current Park Projects

Robert Moore Park is moving to 22 Sydenham Street. The new park will include new playground equipment, a three-bay swing set with an accessible swing, shade shelters, community gardens, accessible paved pathways and new trees for additional shade. A splash pad will be included in the final design.

In January, feedback from residents was requested through a survey to help inform the new playground design. The survey is now closed. You can view an overview of the survey results below. 

• 73.4% of the survey respondents preferred to see a playground that had bright colours like yellow, purple, pink, teal, orange and blue. (Image A)
• 58.7% of the survey respondents selected they preferred option 2 for the playground design which includes slides (double wave, tall and short), a variety of different climbers including a rock-climbing wall, a 3-Bay swing set, interactive panel and play areas, caterpillar rocker and climber-net course.

On December 17, 2019 Brantford City Council voted to direct staff to dispose of the  City owned lands at 282 Stanley St. to fund much needed affordable housing within the municipality. The sale of these lands provides a substantial capital foundation to create much needed, sustainable affordable housing in our community. The proceeds from the land sale combined with ongoing tax revenues, creative financial planning, partnerships with non-profit housing sectors and federal and provincial funding streams have the potential to result in over 470 units of affordable, sustainable, mixed income housing options for the residents of Brantford and Brant over the next 10 years.

Introducing Southwest Community Centre and Park – a vibrant development set to transform the southwesternmost part of the city!

Joining forces in a collaborative effort, the Grand Erie District School Board (GEDSB) and the City of Brantford present a dynamic project. On 7.2 acres at the intersection of Shellard Lane and Strickland Ave, a Joint Build facility will house a new elementary school, community center, library, gymnasium, and multi-purpose rooms – fostering a hub for community engagement.

But that's not all – adjacent to the school site, a 24-acre City of Brantford Community Park is set to become the largest in the southwestern part of the city. Boasting cricket and soccer fields, pickleball courts, a skate park, winding trails and more, this park promises to enhance the quality of life for Brantford's residents and foster exciting new connections among the community.
