Owen Sound Council considers sale of parkland

Owen Sound City Council is reviewing the potential sale of a 1.3 acre portion of Stoney Orchard and Timber McArthur Parks.

The area that is being considered for sale is located on the north side of 23rd Street East. Nearby residents were mailed a survey in the spring to talk about park usage, while other people could also complete a survey online.

City Council will review a follow-up report next Monday which looks at the condition of the park, an assessment of parkland supply, and a summary of feedback. Council will also consider their next steps.

The trail that connects from 21st Street East north to 28th Street East would continue to provide a linkage through this area and would not be removed as part of the proposed land sale.

All background information and staff reports are on the City’s website at www.owensound.ca/potentiallandsale
