Leamington park slated for upgrades this summer

Work will begin this spring on upgrades to Mersea Park.

The 13-acre green space located along Point Pelee Drive is one of Leamington's oldest parks.

The $3 million upgrades will include a new splash pad and support buildings, accessible playground equipment, washroom upgrades, an accessible walking path, and expanded parking lot.

“This renewal project is a pivotal step toward enhancing the quality of life for all Leamington residents and visitors,” said Mayor Hilda MacDonald. “Mersea Park has been at the heart of our community for decades, and with these upgrades, it will continue to be a cherished gathering place for many years to come."

The Mersea Park renewal project was tendered and awarded to a local firm, Barrineti Construction Ltd.
