GROVE MEMORIAL PARK

Grove Memorial Park is located in northcentral Ontario, primarily within a residential neighborhood. Key destinations within walking distance include other city parks such as John Galvin Park, Veterans Memorial Park, and James Galanis Park.

Two opportunity park areas are identified for Grove Memorial Park. One space is characterized by a long and narrow open grassy area with high visibility from Grove Avenue. Due to the unique shape of this park, special attention should be paid to the potential park features identified in the table. This park also has the potential to serve as a resourcebased park by implementing urban greening and stormwater features such as bioswales, rain gardens, and native plantings. It is recommended that the city conduct additional community engagement to determine which park features to implement.
