Key planned improvements at Hart Park in Phase 1 include:
* Upgrades to all pedestrian path-of-travel routes and site accessibility barrier-removal improvements in locations as identified in a Certified Access Specialist (CASp) Report;
* Redesign of the parking area to be fully accessible and multi-functional; and
* Reconfiguration of the off-leash dog area into one small and one large play area in accordance with the results of the initial community outreach process and previous recommendations from the Public Facilities, Recreation, and Infrastructure Commission; Older Adults Advisory Board; and Disabilities Advisory Board.
