Plans to significantly upgrade a large park in Mississauga’s east end hit a milestone this week.
With early preparation work completed, “concrete forming” is underway at the well-used Garnetwood Park, Mississauga Ward 3 Coun. Chris Fonseca said in an online update to the community.
That’s the stage of construction where crews build the formwork, the molds into which concrete will later be poured.
Fonseca said earlier the City of Mississauga is adding “incredible amenities” to the 34-acre park located alongside Etobicoke Creek, near Burnhamthorpe Road East and Ponytrail Drive.
The green space already features basketball nets, a leash-free zone, mobile food vendor, multi-use court, a playground, soccer field, softball diamond and a renovated spray pad, in addition to a new four-court tennis facility that opened last summer.
Acting on feedback from the community, the city is now adding two new paths to the trail system, four-season seating/tables and pickleball courts. The upgraded spray pad was completed this past summer.
Neither Fonseca nor City of Mississauga officials have provided a specific timeline for completion of the other amenities.
The City of Mississauga, along with Tennis Canada and National Bank, opened the renovated Garnetwood Park Tennis Courts last June. The four-court tennis facility received the makeover through National Bank’s Play Your Court program.

The initiative, a joint venture between National Bank and Tennis Canada, was launched in 2022 in response to “a growing demand for tennis and a need to revitalize many existing outdoor community courts across the country,” officials with the organizations said earlier in an online description of the program.
Essentially, they added, the goal is to make tennis more accessible for all Canadians.
City officials said earlier the improvements to the tennis facility “not only enhance access to quality recreational infrastructure, but also aim to inspire more people, young and old, to pick up a racquet and experience the many benefits of tennis.”
