Park Upgrades & Development

This project is funded in part by the Government of Canada’s Natural Infrastructure Fund.

In 2025, Boughton Park received several important upgrades as part of the City's Green Network Project, funded in part by the Government of Canada's Natural Infrastructure Fund, as well as the Parks Department's Park Upgrade Program. The work addressed deficiencies and brought the park up to current standards, as well as included the installation of a food forest demonstration site, irrigation system improvements and naturalized plantings. 

The park is now in its establishment phase as newly planted trees, gardens and naturalized areas continue to grow and become established. During this phase, some areas may look less mature and may require temporary fencing or ongoing maintenance to ensure long-term success. Over time, these improvements will continue to develop and enhance the overall park experience.

Park upgrades include:

• Food Forest Demonstration Site
• Tree plantings
• Planting beds / pollinator gardens
• Irrigation improvements
• New play structure
• New pathways
• Site furniture
• Educational signage
