Scope of the Project
The scope of the project project for Phase 1 of Lions Field Park will provide;
Tree planting along Elm street and Killaly Street West
New fence along the park edge
New Park Gateway enhancements
Mural facing Killaly Street West
Background
Lions Field, situated at the heart of the City of Port Colborne, is a vibrant community hub frequented by residents and various user groups. Notably, it serves as the annual venue for the Lions Club Carnival. Recognizing the significance of this public space, the municipality has undertaken the Lions Field construction project to enhance its appeal and functionality.
By investing in these spaces together, we build strong and healthy neighborhoods that attract residents, promote tourism, grow the local and regional economy, and beautify Niagara’s communities.
The budget for the Lions Field Streetscape Project was previously approved by Council, and the City has secured financial support through the Niagara Region's Public Realm Investment Program (PRIP).
Phase 1 is slated for completion in July 2024 and encompasses a range of improvements aimed at elevating the overall experience for park attendees. A key aspect of the project involves the transformation of the park's entrance and streetscape, creating a more welcoming environment for both residents and visitors.
As part of the project's artistic vision, murals will be painted on the existing building facing Killaly Street West. To ensure these murals resonate with the community, a comprehensive approach will be adopted. A public survey will be conducted via the City of Port Colborne’s website to garner input from residents. Design possibilities will be explored, incorporating the rich heritage features of Port Colborne and celebrating the legacy of Lions Field.
Touchstone Site Contractors Inc. will begin construction Monday June 3, 2024. The work is expected to take place over a 4-week timeframe and will conclude by July 1st, 2024 (tentatively). The designated working hours are between 7:00 a.m. and conclude at 4:00 p.m. Monday- Friday. The mural will be completed after construction as we await final designs for public to vote on which design they like best.
