It is amazing what transpires when a group of local citizens have input into the renewal of a local park. The Town of Killam has a group of local leaders working along side town staff and council to renew the local heritage park. All citizens, including youth, will equally be involved in the planning and decision making process.
The planning group has amazing foresight to the park details. The design team is looking for ways to enhance the cultural and heritage aspects of the Heritage Park. Much attention is being spent on the cultural potential of the park. This means even benches and signage would incorporate the cultural side of Killam.
It seems that the park will not be unused in any shape or form as the focus is to renew the park for all year use. This could include features of a toboggan and ice surface area to fitness and tennis space and theatre potential.
The best part of the Killam Heritage Park renewal is not the product, but the process. Involving citizens in creating, planning, and decision making processes will help create a public space that is reflective of the community.
