Highland Gardens Park Stair Improvements

Highland Gardens Park is an existing 3.2 hectare (8.7 acre) neighbourhood park located at 55 Hillcrest Avenue, Hamilton (Ward 1). This park includes a soccer pitch, baseball diamonds, and linkages to the Bruce Trail. Staircase improvements are proposed at Mountain Avenue and Hillcrest .

As part of the planning process, the City will engage with local residents to shape the vision of this space. The project scope will include:

• Cladding the existing staircase with stone or granite
• Replacing the railings with a more decorative option
• Installation of a sitting area at the top of the stairs
• Improving the crosswalk at Hillcrest Ave and Mountain Avenue
• Potential Sun shelter
• Landscape improvements
• Tree plantings

During the consultation period, the community will have the opportunity to provide feedback on one of 2 stair concept plans, choose a preferred shade option, pick railing materials and design, and provide input on the sitting area materials and design.
