The long-anticipated start date to the Rotary Park - Phase 1 adjacent to the Fleming Centre in Lincoln, Ontario is officially underway. Scheduled to open in the summer of 2021. The development of the park will be staged over two phases beginning in 2020 with the installation of the skate park and pump track.
The agreement between the Town of Lincoln and the Rotary Club of Lincoln, Ontario Canada (RCL) regarding RCL’s $100,000 donation to the Rotary park project and recognition (e.g. onsite signage, stewardship, usage opportunities) has been signed and official.
Concept design for the park was completed through a comprehensive community consultation process and approved by the Town of Lincoln Council as a capital project in December 2019 at a total value of $3,060,000.
Rotary Park is one of the town’s most significant parkland projects currently and is classified as a “Destination” park because it features a skate park and pump track, amenities that will not be installed in any other public park in the Town of Lincoln.
Designed for all ages, the park will include ample parking for vehicles and bicycles, a variety of activity and passive areas with related equipment, walking paths, picnic pavilion, and open space equipped with active utilities (water & hydro) for community events. It will also include, the “Butterfly Garden”, to be created in partnership with Ontariogreen, the Fleming Family, Butterfly Garden Committee, and the Town of Lincoln.
