Maybe you have to sign into YouTube first; I was able to watch -- nothing all that revealing but it does show progress.

While I understand the budgetary constraints and massive price tag, it's such a shame we couldn't incorporate a beach & usable lake into this re-development like was proposed way back in the Mandel years.

Add a few buildings with patios over the lake and lease the space out to restaurants, bars, coffee shops, etc. Make a little mini boardwalk. Then charge a small fee for beach use to help pay off the cost. This is also something I wish Lake Summerside would have done instead of surrounding the entire lake in giant homes.

Project Update - Fall 2024
Rehabilitation work continues across William Hawrelak Park. The replacement of all deep utility services throughout the park is complete. The rehabilitation of the two overflow drainage outfalls at the North Saskatchewan River is complete.The roadways and new shared pathway are currently being paved, with sections of the pathway completed. The electrical infrastructure for the pathway lighting and power throughout the park has been installed along the shared pathway. Most of the work on the perimeter road and main parking lot is complete. The remaining work will be completed in 2025.
Rehabilitation work continues on the Main Pavilion, Heritage Amphitheatre, shelters and main service yard. The retaining wall along the Main Pavilion Plaza and lakefront path is complete. The concrete for the seating along the lakefront path has been poured.
The rehabilitation of the Groat Road stairs is complete and they have reopened.
Landscaping work has started and will continue throughout 2025. The grading of Hawrelak Lake is almost complete, and work on the vegetative buffer around the lake is almost complete. The landscaping will need time to establish before the park can reopen to the public.
