  • A playground with junior and senior level play equipment
  • Shade structures
  • A swing set
  • Seating options
  • Half-court multi-use pad
  • A sports field
  • Bike racks
  • A community garden with planting beds, including accessible beds

Robert Moore Park - project questions and answers

Why is the neighbourhood getting a new park?
A new park, double in size that will include a series of modern park amenities, is being developed to better serve the needs of the neighbourhood. The new park will be located at the City owned lands at 22 Sydenham Street. 
Why can’t the current park at 115 Albion St. remain park space?
One third of the current Robert Moore Park space at 115 Albion St. is already privately owned. Brantford City Council has directed City staff to accept a sale offer for the remaining two thirds of the lands at 115 Albion St. as plans were already underway to upgrade Robert Moore Park by doubling the size of the park and allowing for more modern amenities at a new location. 
When will the new park be built?

Construction of the new park has not yet begun. The current park space will remain dedicated to recreational park use until such a time as the new park is developed so that the neighbourhood will never be without a Robert Moore Park. 
Will the public have an opportunity to provide input on what should be included in the new park?
Yes. The City’s park development process includes several opportunities for community engagement that will be shared in the coming months.
