Mountain Drive Park
No access to park - 2024 to 2026
As part of standard due diligence soil testing for the Mountain Drive Park renewal (the next phase includes a new spray pad, sun shelter, walkways, and playground replacement), soil tests have revealed that some of the park’s soils exceed the Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks soil standards for parkland.
Out of an abundance of caution, the park will remain closed until construction of the new amenities is complete.
We recognize this will be an inconvenience to residents and ask for patience while the soil testing and construction is completed. Residents are encouraged to visit other nearby parks with playgrounds such as Peace Memorial Park, Eastmount Park, and Highview Park.
Mountain Drive Park is located at 935 Concession Street, Hamilton and sits within the Ward 6 and Ward 7 boundaries, and Raleigh and Sunninghill neighbourhoods. The Mountain Brow trail runs along the northern perimeter of the park and connects the park to the greater mountain brow trail network that continues east and west along the top of the escarpment. The park is located at the eastern end of the Concession Street BIA boundary.
Mountain Drive Park is identified as an active Neighbourhood Park in the recreational study and other neighbourhood park(s) within the 600m service radius includes Peace Memorial Park. There are parking stalls along Mountain Park Avenue that connect to Mountain Drive Park via a walkway network within open space that can be used by residents not within walking distance of Mountain Drive Park.
Many of the Mountain Drive Park amenities have reached the end of their lifespan, so various upgrades are required to continue to safely serve the evolving local community. Informed by public engagement, a master plan to establish direction for the revitalization of the park was prepared in 2022.
This is a multi-year park renewal project. Construction of the new playground and spray pad is planned for 2024. The City of Hamilton wants to hear what you think - visit the Mountain Drive Park Playground Renewal Engage page.
