Downtown Forest King Street Parkette Project
In early 2024, Council purchased two vacant lots on King Street W in Downtown Forest to transform the space into a place for events, community activations and contribute to the ongoing downtown revitalization efforts.
In late 2024, the Municipality began to collaborate with several stakeholder groups in Forest to brainstorm how the spaces could be used and what features it should have to accommodate the needs of the public and local groups.
The Vision for the Space
The Downtown Forest Parkette project will create a community space for events and gatherings. The project is a true community effort with several stakeholder groups involved in the transformation of this space.
The project will take place in phases. Here's a look at the vision for Phase 1 of the Downtown Forest Parkette:
Turning the Vision into a Reality
The Downtown Forest Parkette Project will include two phases:
- Phase 1 (currently underway): adding utility services (hydro and water), surfacing the area, and restoring the north wall
- Phase 2: adding additional features, landscaping and other amenities
Phase 1 Updates
Phase 1 work kicked off on September 18, 2025
