Timmins looks at options for a multi-action sports park

The Mountjoy Historical Conservation Area in the west end of Timmins is where city council hopes to build a new multi-action sports park. 'This term has replaced the more commonly used skateboard park,' said city clerk Steph Palmateer, explaining what is meant by a 'multi-action sports park.' Skateboard park Timmins The City of Timmins is hoping to build a multi-action sports park in the Mountjoy Historical Conservation Area. (Lydia Chubak/CTV News) 'We're doing this simply because the new park will seek to incorporate other activities such as BMX bikes, skateboards, scooters and rollerblades and skates. There may also be some additional uses that I'm not thinking of, but I wanted to make this clarification for council.' Construction isn't expected to begin until next year as a feasibility study will have to be done first. The suggested location is prone to flooding, but Palmateer said the design of this particular facility might be useful. Stormwater management 'It would be looking at how we incorporate stormwater management systems within the multi-action sports park and how it would help us manage, you know, increased rainfall and increased melt in the spring,' said Palmateer. There are a couple of options for where the park could be built within the conservation area and some councillors want to make sure every effort is made to weigh the pros and cons of them both. 'I would prefer a feasibility study, including both, because I don't want to get eight months down the road and then say, oh no, we can't do option A, and now we're back to square zero, where council starts debating what other sites it might do or if it moves forward with it,' said Coun. Steve Black. The city has $650,000 for the park in its recreation reserve fund. It's also submitting funding applications to various agencies.
