As the city filed it
In 2021, Parks and Recreation Division studied the Oakwood - St. Clair neighbourhood as a priority area for new and improved parkland. This area has low parkland provision, which is expected to decline with continued residential growth. The Oakwood-St. Clair Parks Plan is a tailored local parks plan informed by community feedback that was collected through multiple online and in-person engagement activities. The Plan establishes key directions for improving the area's parks and open spaces, including expansion of existing parkland.

Roseneath Park, Charles Breteton Park, and the new park at 261 Nairn Avenue are identified as priority opportunities. Future expansion of the 261 Nairn Avenue park has been secured through off-site parkland dedication. Expansion opportunities for Charles Brereton Park have not yet been secured; however seating improvements are being explored for 2026. Roseneath Park is a 2340 square metre park serving an area of very low parkland provision near Oakwood Avenue and St. Clair Avenue West. Expansion opportunities have been actively pursued through off-site parkland dedication and direct acquisitions. In December 2025, the City successfully purchased the property at 252 Winona Drive ( Delegated Approval Form 2025-123 ) to advance this goal. Off-site parkland dedications from the development at located 1500 St. Clair Avenue West have also been secured. Parks and Recreation Division is actively exploring land assembly opportunities with these secured properties to maximize expansion of Roseneath Park. This motion directs City staff to continue to prioritize Roseneath Park expansion opportunities to improve the size and functionality of this important community asset.
Staff recommended
Councillor Alejandra Bravo, seconded by Councillor Josh Matlow, recommends that: 1. City Council direct the General Manager, Parks and Recreation to continue to prioritize expansion of Roseneath Park as a key implementation action of the Oakwood-St. Clair Parks Plan.
