PROJECTCONTEXT Stanley Park Redevelopment Initiative Stanley Park has become increasingly popular in recent years, resulting in greater demands placed on the park. The City of Calgary Parks is working towards a redevelopment plan for the park. This plan will take into consideration increasing numbers of park visitors, enhance park visitors experience, boost the park s environmental health, and identify much needed lifecycle upgrades and replacements. Why Prepare the Plan? Stanley Park is a popular multi-use park with a long history and a place in the hearts of the communities and users it serves. The Stanley Park Club expansion and the evolving needs and desires for the park will be addressed by this plan. The goal is to ensure the park remains valuable for park users today and into the future. To do this, a comprehensive redevelopment plan is required to ensure all activities can be balanced in a sustainable way. What are the steps in the process? Calgary Parks has retained Stantec Consulting as experienced park planners and engagement specialists to assist us with this project. The planning process involves a step by step approach: STAKEHOLDER AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT BACKGROUND REVIEW STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK + FUTURE ALTERNATIVES DRAFT REDEVELOPMENT + MANAGEMENT PLAN FINAL REDEVELOPMENT + MANAGEMENT PLAN DETAILED DESIGN + CONSTRUCTION JANUARY AUGUST * LATER PHASE TO * date is tentative and may FOLLOW AFTER THIS be subject to change PROJECT How it all works Once the approved plan has been finalized, it can be used to request funding for future implementation.
