The project partners with the City of Red Deer to design a multi-generational community park in the green space southwest of the West Park Shopping Centre. The first phase was completed this January and includes the construction of a gazebo and a stage for a proposed amphitheater, surrounding landscaping, ramp accessibility, benches and a barbeque pad.
