A pair of Arnprior parks are being upgraded this summer, thanks to a grant from the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program (ICIP). Through the ICIP funding, the Town of Arnprior received $59,486 for Caruso Park improvements and $129,797 for the enhancements coming to Legion Park.
Caruso Park will have a new play structure and pathway installed. Legion Park will have a new play structure featuring a rubber play surface to support accessibility and safety, along with paved pathways connecting the structure with entry points at Edey Street and Wilfred Crescent. Work on Caruso Park is already underway with the removal of the existing play structure.
The Department of Recreation invites the public to the Community Hall at the Nick Smith Centre on Wednesday, April 12th, 2023 from 5:30-7:30 p.m. to review the designs of these upgrades and provide their feedback. The public will also have the opportunity to review designs and submit feedback through the Town of Arnprior website.
Another major recreational trail project being undertaken in the Summer of 2023 will see improvements to the waterfront trail from Madawaska Street to the Robert Simpson Park beach. This section of the trail will soon feature a paved pathway including lighting, benches and waste and recycling receptacles, supporting active transportation and accessibility for our residents and visitors.
