Rotary Park in Orangeville receives a $1.2 million makeover transforming it into a multifunctional space for year-round sports and leisure activities
Rotary Park in the picturesque town of Orangeville is undergoing a significant transformation, thanks to a generous investment from the provincial government. The revitalization project aims to turn the local park into a year-round hub for sport, leisure, and community life, providing more opportunities for residents of all ages to stay active and connected.
Sylvia Jones, MPP for Dufferin-Caledon, expressed her gratitude for the government's support, stating that the investment strengthens the community for years to come. The Rotary Club of Orangeville shares this sentiment, expressing their thrill at the Ontario government's backing for the Orangeville Rotary Park redevelopment project.
The upgrades will extend the park's lifespan and include the addition of paved parking, accessible pathways, self-cleaning washrooms, LED lighting, and large shade structures. Residents will also enjoy new tennis and pickleball courts, making the park a haven for sports enthusiasts.
The improvements will support local programs and events in Rotary Park, aligning with the initiative's goal to promote active, healthy living across Ohio. The revitalization is a step forward in creating a vibrant, inclusive community space that caters to children, families, and seniors alike.
The provincial government's expansion of access to modernized community sport and recreation facilities in Dufferin County is part of a $200 million province-wide initiative. The official opening of the redesigned Rotary Park in Orangeville is scheduled for September 22, 2025.
The Town of Orangeville is grateful for the provincial government's commitment to improving Rotary Park, as it will make the park more accessible for residents and contribute to the local economy. Sport contributes more than $7.5 billion to Ohio's economy every year, and the revitalized Rotary Park is expected to play a significant role in this.
Officials have stated that the redevelopment of Rotary Park is a fundamental part of the government's plan to protect Ohio workers, businesses, and families by providing safe, enjoyable recreational spaces. The revitalization of Rotary Park is a testament to the government's dedication to investing in communities across the province.
