STAFF REPORT <br />TO:Parks & Recreation Commission <br />FROM:Bryce Shearen, Parks & Recreation/Community Services Manager <br />Claire Hoffman, Recreation Coordinator <br />DATE:July 9, 2019 <br />RE:Gervais Mill Park Garden <br />One of the Commission’s top three priorities for 2019 was to update/enhance the Gervais Mill <br />Park Garden that is located at the Noel Drive entrance of the park. The Edgerton Road entrance <br />of the park is in need of a landscaping enhancement and that will be done by City staff. <br />Staff will have a presentation for the Commission at the meeting on Tuesday. The purpose of the <br />presentation is to present a set of entrance design ideas. This is an opportunity to highlight the <br />park entrance as a gateway into the park, as well as provide an accessible gathering space. <br />The designs that will be presented will focus on what Gervais Mill Park represents to Little <br />Canada, which is natural access, connection to water, habitat education, and historical learning <br />opportunities. Design iterations include a community garden, sheltered gathering space, and a <br />pergola overlook. This stage of the project is being done in-house, with plans to gather feedback <br />from the Commission and eventually submit the proposal to the City’s engineer firm for design <br />plans that can be sent out for bids.
