Dentville Park

Background:

The District of Squamish has funding for park improvements in the Dentville and Wilson Crescent area and through an online questionnaire and in-person events, public input was received to determine what types of playground and park features the community would like to see. Thank you to everyone who provided input.

Next Steps:

1. Staff will present the engagement results to Council at the October 3, 2017 Community Development and Standing Committee meeting. (view the survey summary and report to Council)
2. Using input collected from the public, and following any direction from Council, this project will move into the design stage.
3. Actively seeking a community champion from Dentville to work collaboratively with District Staff on the preliminary park design. If you are interested in playing a lead role in the development of the park, please contact project staff.
