Thank you to everyone who joined WCID’s online Goewerneur Park community presentation. The session provided residents with a detailed overview of the project’s planning process, design changes, project costs and the City’s recent feedback, followed by an open question-and-answer session. Following the presentation, residents were invited to complete a short feedback survey. The response was encouraging with 21 residents providing feedback. 80% of respondents indicated that they enjoyed the online meeting format, while residents gave an average score of 4 out of 5 when asked “Was the information provided clear and concise?”.

Well-designed parks become valuable community assets. Sluysken Park, a recent Welgemoed CID park upgrade, is a good example, regularly hosting activities such as the Welgemoed Young Entrepreneurs “Parkie Markie”, the recently launched Free Mini Library, and many informal gatherings that bring residents together throughout the year.
