A dog park. Will everyone be able to get in?
Matheson Park is the chosen site. Council put the accessible trail into the 2027 budget. Residents deserve one plan for the park, the path and opening day.

Pick a plan. Explain the trade-off.
What would you choose?
Choices to question · not a public vote or a list of approved projects.
Open the park and path together — proposal
What it could achieveGive residents an accessible route from parking on the first day of use.
The trade-offAgree the combined budget and delivery date; the park may need to wait for the path.
Publish a phased plan — proposal
What it could achieveAllow separately funded work to proceed in stages.
The trade-offExplain who can use each stage, what accessible arrangements exist, and the funded date for the remaining work. An unbuilt path needs an answer.
Same issue. Same opportunity to explain.
Where do they stand?

What happened. What happens next.
Matheson Park selected
Council endorsed the site through resolution 13-05-2026.
Amenity costs compared
Staff estimated approximately $39,000 without lighting and on-site water, or $68,500 with both. These are dated estimates, not final bills.
Trail put into the 2027 budget
Council rejected new water installation and directed the accessible trail into the next budget.
Earlier construction requested
The committee packet includes its chair’s request to build in 2026. Council authorization and an opening date require their own record.
Ask Zorra Council and recreation staff to publish one cost and opening schedule. The August committee packet includes a request for 2026 construction; a request is not an opening announcement.
