A once-isolated Mississauga park transforming into a community hub

A Mississauga park that has already undergone a transformation will soon see even more changes.

The recent redesign of The Credit Woodlands, a street named after the community it runs through, has improved community access to Bert Fleming Park. Now the City of Mississauga wants to make the park a neighbourhood hub.

Previously, the park was trapped within a traffic circle that connected The Credit Woodlands, McBride Avenue and Credit Heights Drive. The redesign closed off a section of the road, which has made the park larger. Sidewalks and crosswalks were also added, leading to the park.

The next step, according to the city, is to add features such as a cycling track, seating area, a game zone, and fitness area, among other improvements.

“The city is now planning for these improvements to transform Bert Fleming Park into a neighbourhood hub where residents can gather, play and connect with nature,” according to a community notice.

Before any changes take place, the city wants to hear from residents about the concepts planned for the park and what they would like to see added.
