As part of our ongoing commitment to enhancing the infrastructure and facilities within our community, the Municipality of Leamington will be undertaking a parking lot expansion and municipal park removal and relocation project.
Project overview:
The Princess Street parking lot expansion project aims to improve the availability of convenient and accessible parking by adding 26 new parking stalls to the existing parking lot (also known as the Central 33 lot).
This expansion will bring the total number of parking spaces to 195, which includes 183 regular parking spaces and 12 accessible parking spaces.
Mill Street Park removal and relocation:
To accommodate the parking lot expansion, the existing Mill Street Park will be removed and relocated. A new playground structure will be constructed in nearby Dieppe Park (located at the corner of Mill Street East and Princess Street).
This park relocation project will ensure that area residents continue to have local access to recreational facilities and green spaces that contribute to the overall quality of life in Leamington.
The new playground structure will be constructed in the northern part of Dieppe Park, ensuring an appropriate setback from the Cenotaph. The playground structure location is shown in the key map.
Project timeline:
The Princess Street parking lot expansion project, which includes the removal of Mill Street Park, is scheduled to begin in late summer. The construction of the new playground structure in Dieppe Park is expected to begin this fall.
All work is weather-dependent, and project timelines are subject to change.
