About the Project:
The City of Belleville is conducting a community-based assessment of options to determine the future of Hillcrest Park.
The Park has undergone a number of recent changes - including the demolition of the school, the introduction of lawn bowling, and the planned relocation of the Children's Safety Village to Hillcrest - which raises both the need and the opportunity to plan for the future of the park by engaging with neighbourhood residents.
This study will help to determine the uses for the remainder of the site, including the former school lands, outlined in red on the map, as well as the original Hillcrest Park, outlined in blue.
The City has embarked on a Parkland and Recreation Master Plan to guide broader plans for the best use of its parks for sports fields as well as neighbourhood open space and amenities. This too will inform the future of Hillcrest Park.
