Amherstburg hosts second public meeting on Malden Park

There's another public meeting in Amherstburg on Monday night about the future of Malden Park.

The town wants to show residents conceptual plans developed after another public meeting last June.

The meeting is at the Libro Centre and starts at 5 p.m.

Residents attending Monday's meeting can ask questions and comment on the plans.

"Malden Park is a cherished space for our residents, and we want to ensure that the redevelopment plans align with the community's vision," said Mayor Michael Prue. "Your input is crucial in creating a park that reflects Amherstburg's diverse interests and needs."

The 5.6-hectare park contains baseball diamonds, a batting cage, a pavilion, a picnic area, and a public trail.

According to a previous survey, 58 per cent of respondents don't believe the park meets the community's needs. A third would support a tax increase to pay for improvements.

Those who cannot attend Monday night can view the concept plans online on Tuesday and share their thoughts through an online survey that will remain open until February 23.
