    Colliers Project Leaders to Provide Project Management Services on Moreau Park Revitalization and Craigleith Community Park

    Sharing is SO MUCH APPRECIATED!

    The Town of The Blue Mountains is excited to announce that Colliers Project Leaders has been contracted to manage two major community parks projects – the revitalization of Moreau Park in Thornbury, and the development of the new Craigleith Community Park.

    Colliers will be working with staff to facilitate conceptual designs and preliminary budget for Moreau Park based on the results of the public survey that was completed in 2023. Construction on Moreau Park is currently anticipated to begin in 2026, with completion in 2027. A preliminary budget has been approved. Once the design is completed, a final budget will be presented to Council based on the elements included.

    Colliers will also lead the procurement of the design team for the Craigleith Community Park design process, ensuring that the results of the 2024 public survey are taken into consideration. Construction of the park is estimated to begin in 2026, in coordination with home construction on the Blue Vista site.

    “We’re excited to be taking the next steps in these projects,” said the Town’s Director of Community Services, Ryan Gibbons. “The community has shown a great amount of support and interest in these projects, and we want to keep that engagement and momentum going through the final design and construction process.”

    The public will have additional opportunities to provide feedback on the designs of both parks before they are finalized. To learn more about each project, and to subscribe for ongoing project updates, please visit the Town’s dedicated project web pages:

    Moreau Park Revitalization

    Craigleith Community Park

    Background

    Moreau Park Revitalization: The Thornbury-Clarksburg Rotary Club approached Town Council in September of 2022 with the concept of revitalizing Moreau Park in Thornbury under the theme, “Kindness at Play.” The elements proposed by the Rotary Club included a new skate park for all ages and abilities, a year-round paved walking path, a sensory garden and an accessible playground. Council directed staff to include this project for consideration as an addition to the 2023 Town budget.

    Craigleith Community Park: Over the past several years, the Town has strategically acquired six hectares of parkland in Craigleith from Windfall, Second Nature, and Blue Vista development sites. This land was gained through the parkland dedication included in each development agreement. The intent is to transform the land into a regional community park for all to enjoy.
