Parks and Trails Plan
Our parks and trails are important spaces where families, friends, and neighbours come together to enjoy the outdoors, play sports, walk their dogs, explore nature, and relax. We want to make these parks even better by creating a Park and Trails Plan, and your input is crucial.
Huron-Kinloss would like to thank everyone for participating in the Parks and Trail Plan. With over 350 surveys completed and six public open houses, the consultants from pl.ural took the comments, input and feedback to finalize the Parks and Trails Plan. The full Parks and Trails Plan is available through the link below.
What's Next - Putting the Plan into Action
Ripley Dog Park
The Parks and Trails Plan identified the location for the Ripley Dog Park on between the Apple Rail Trail entrance and the Ripley Soccer Fields. The Huron-Kinloss Community Services Department is excited to move forward with plans for a new dog park in Ripley. This community-driven project is an opportunity to get involved early in the process, share your ideas, and help shape a space for dogs and their owners to enjoy.
A community meeting will be held on Tuesday, January 21, at 6:30 PM at the Ripley-Huron Community Centre. At the meeting, we’ll share a proposed design, tentative layouts, fundraising opportunities, and cost estimates. We’re seeking input from Ripley residents on tweaks to the design and layout, as well as ideas for enhancing the park.
Volunteers are also needed! If you’re interested in helping with brush clearing, organizing a spring clean-up day, or fundraising for additional park features, we’d love to hear from you. Getting involved is a great way to contribute and ensure the park’s success and longevity.
Below is the link for the Ripley Dog Park location and map.
The Ripley Dog Park will be similar to the Point Clark Dog Park as seen above.
