Foundry Park Skatepark and Playground Design Project

Project Description

Through the 2022 budget process, Orillia Council approved funding to complete the community consultation and design work required to explore the feasibility of constructing a new skateboard park and playground at Foundry Park, located at 255 West St. S. 

“Foundry Park is home to the Orillia Recreation Centre, which has become a popular destination for families. Through community engagement, including workshops and surveys, the City is exploring the design of a potential skateboard park and playground at Foundry Park to add to the amenities the City can offer to our community. We are hopeful that residents of all ages will attend the workshop and take the survey to provide valuable feedback on the design plans,” said Mayor Steve Clarke. 

The City of Orillia has retained New Line Skateparks for the purposes of completing community consultation, design, and construction documentation for the potential skatepark and playground project. 

In order to engage the community and skatepark users the City will be hosting three separate workshops to evolve design ideas into a preferred design for the Foundry Park Skatepark and Playground. The first workshop was held on September 21, 2022 to introduce the project team and objectives and to provide an overview of the skatepark development journey. For those who could not attend, an online survey is available until October 14, 2022.
