City looking for feedback on Downtown Waterfront Park possibilities

You’re being asked for your thoughts on what should be added next to the Downtown Waterfront Park.

An online survey is now live involving the plot of land behind the North Bay Museum.

The area will be designed to complement and connect nearby amenities with officials saying the idea is to enhance recreation, tourism and community life.

Survey questions ask about natural, cultural or art-related installations, 3D North Bay letters, winter options like a skating loop or snowshoe trail, opening the second underpass to pedestrians, space to watch a hockey game or movie, and more.

“Public feedback is essential to creating a vibrant waterfront that reflects the needs and aspirations of our community,” says Councillor Justine Mallah, Chair of Community Services. “This is a chance for residents to have a direct say in shaping the next chapter of our Downtown Waterfront.”

If completed by the end of September, you’ll be entered in a draw to win one of six $100 gift cards redeemable at more than 20 shops and restaurants in the city.  

In-person and virtual meetings will also be taking place.

The first virtual session next Tuesday.
