Revitalization work to begin at Gage Park
September 01, 2009
The City of Hamilton’s Public Works Department will begin construction in Gage Park in early September to complete Phase 1 of the Master Plan to revitalize the Park. Since 1922, Gage Park has provided citizens with a rich mixture of open space, play fields, gardens and tree-lined paths that cover over 30 hectares of green space at the foot of the Niagara Escarpment. Located east of the downtown core at Main Street West and Gage Avenue, Gage Park serves both its surrounding downtown community as well as plays host to citywide special events that draw people from beyond Hamilton’s borders.
The Phase 1 plan is part of a new Master Plan design under development in consultation with local stakeholders at numerous public meetings. The contractor will begin work in early September which involves the construction of decorative features at the Corner of Main Street and Gage Avenue and the Main Street fountain entrances, a new drainage system to alleviate the flooding in the north end of the park, the reconstruction of the existing pergola and a new fence along Main Street. The work is expected to be completed by late December 2009.
Every effort will be made to complete this work in an expeditious manner and to keep any inconvenience to a minimum. The Public Works Department thanks the community for their patience and cooperation as we work proactively to revitalize Gage Park for the community to enjoy.
