Courtcliffe Park

Courtcliffe Park contains a Citywide 16.66 ha sports park on the southern portion and a 23.56 ha natural open space on the northern portion separated by Bronte Creek. The former town of Flamborough prepared a Master Plan Report and a Stream Morphology Study in 2000 for Courtcliffe Park. Much of the passive area of the park has been restored with assistance from the community, Conservation Halton and the Courtcliffe Restoration Steering Committee. The original master plan report recommended an expansion of the soccer program to 6 fields. The overall shortage of soccer fields in the city requires a greater number of fields at Courtcliffe which can be accommodated through a re-orientation of the existing 5 fields. The new field program will upgrade all fields to current city standards and improve the field grading and site drainage. To allow the soccer program to remain in operation during the construction season the field expansion will be phased over 3 years.

• Year 1 - Construction of 2 new mini fields.
• Year 2 - Re-grading of 2 existing fields to construct 3 mini fields, construction of a new children's play area (swings and climbing equipment), closure of the west parking lot entrance, expansion of the parking lot on the west side and installation of fencing to replace wooden bollards, construction of storm water swales, new asphalt walkway access to the children's play area, tree planting, preparation of preliminary design study for Montsberg and Bronte Creek remediation, road construction will include a new left turn lane on Carlisle Road. 
• Year 3 - re-grading of 3 existing fields to construct 4 mini fields, expansion of the parking area to the east, tree planting.
• Future Phase - Class Environment Assessment for the replacement of Bronte Creek culvert and additional creek remediation

On Tuesday December 4 2007, an open-house style public meeting was held at the Carlisle Community Centre from 6:30pm to 8:30pm for both Courtcliffe Park and Joe Sam's Leisure Park.
