Have your say about fitness/wellness/community for Oliver and Oliver Park.
Ideas:
A multi-level community hub/League Hall with programmable, publicly-accessible, well-designed gathering spaces. Additional ideas for the community hub can include: fitness, studio and meeting spaces; Edmonton Public Library Programming space; a green roof that could offer additional green space and could serve as a community garden; a patio/deck with an all-season gas firepit and bathroom access to encourage year-around passive recreation; a partnership-based cafe/vending to benefit community gathering. The building would replace the Oliver Arena as the designated shelter for the nearby Oliver School.
The Oliver park playground could benefit from updated design and natural elements.
A landscaped seating area could facilitate community gathering and intergenerational, multipurpose, year-around use.
In case of pool closure, an outdoor skating rink could replace the Oliver Outdoor Pool.
Alternatively, to increase ecology in the area, the space could be converted to naturalized open space.
Additional landscaping elements such as trees and shrubs could enhance ecology.
A heated gazebo could encourage multi-year use.
The SE corner could remain as green space to accommodate pop-up events and community celebration use. Can also be programmable for outdoor fitness activities.
Maintained and lit paved walkways with disability access throughout the park would ensure equitable access
