HOMER BRIGGS PARK

Homer Briggs Park is located in westcentral Ontario, primarily within a residential neighborhood. Key destinations within walking distance include Vista Grande Elementary School, places of worship, and commercial destinations along Mountain Avenue and Philadelphia Street. Two opportunity park areas are identified for Homer Briggs Park. Both areas are characterized as open grassy areas that provide both passive and active recreation activities. The spaces have easy access to group picnic areas, walkways, and restrooms. Both areas can accommodate many kinds of potential park features due to the flat terrain and their medium-sized boundaries.

In addition, this park could also benefit from equestrian trail enhancements to and from the staging area and horse arena. Ongoing maintenance, signage, and related amenities could be installed to improve the equestrian experience for the surrounding community. It is recommended that the city conduct additional community engagement to determine which park features to implement.
