F.D. Roosevelt Yard Enhancements






Franklin D. Roosevelt P.S

Gazebo and path in the green space behind Beacock Library.

The Northeast is a diverse community and we believe that friendship breaks barriers and makes living in our community healthy and strong. Loneliness, which can lead to mental illness, is a problem that is fixable if we make connections. Our “Friendship Terrace” would allow people to meet, talk and share ideas. Since the library is so close, it would also be a great place to simply read in the shade or have a quiet peaceful place to work. The terrace would need walkway for accessibility but this would be short since there already is a sidewalk in the area.


Cost Breakdown:Gazebo - $35,000; Pathway - $5,000

A gazebo in Huron Heights Park.

Youth of our community feel a Gazebo would let parents come out with their children to have picnics or barbecues while their children played on the playground close by or played on the soccer field, basketball field etc. Families and residents of Boullee can come together for a Barbecue without having the need to go to parks in other parts of the city. A great way to bring residents and families together.


Cost Breakdown:Gazebo - $30,000; Cement Pad - $20,000



Gazebo in Huron Heights Park

Addition of a small garden to attract bees, safety posts to increase safety and a bench to sit and enjoy the space.

It would be great to have this green space developed to help the environment to bring pollinators in and a bench for people to sit and enjoy it. The suggestion of including a barricade or posts would help with the safety of children and families, as in its current state, some motorists feel it necessary to drive vehicles (both automobiles and motorcycles) on the path that leads to the forest where the visibility of children can be diffi cult.

Lights added to the Wolsley Skate Park so people can skate in the shorter days.

Cost Breakdown:Lighting - $50,000

The Kilally Valley Community Group would like two pieces that would enhance the playground for older children. The desire would be a giant spider web or another climbing obstacle in an additional circle. Currently our park is good, but only accommodates children of a young age.

The Kilally Valley Community Group works hard to make our neighbourhood a place where everyone is welcome. Currently our playground is very geared towards young children, and we would like to see additional equipment for older children. There are many children who love to go to the park and climb trees in the woods. It would be much safer and environmentally friendly for them to have a place at the park. Our park is always busy from dawn until dusk and is a true gathering place for families. Being able to accommodate more of the neighbourhood children would be a great benefit to our community.


Cost Breakdown:New playground circle and path - $25,000; Two pieces of equipment - $25,000

Placing 4 new picnic tables in Ed Blake Park. We currently only have one picnic table in the entire park that is under the shade. Having 4 new tables would be immediately used for the entire park season.

The park is so well used by many families for gatherings. Many residents in our area use the park for birthday parties, family reunions, and celebrations. Given the nature and makeup of our community many residents live in apartment buildings and don’t have access to communal space for family gatherings or larger kids parties. The park with the splash pad is a welcome escape. We just want a place to sit and eat as a group.


Cost Breakdown:4 Picnic Tables - $12,000
