2025 park improvements
High Castle Park
The playground at High Castle Park will be replaced in 2025
The new playgrounds feature creative and interactive designs for play spaces that are fun and engaging for the whole community. Playground equipment is inclusive and accessible. Some of the new playground equipment pieces include:
- Composite structure with slides and climbing features
- New swings
- Curbed protective surface with engineered wood fibre
- An accessible walkway to the playground
Jackson's Point Parkette
This project aims to revitalize a tired and under-utilized urban parkette into an inviting and welcoming outdoor space where the community can gather and host events. Existing walkways will be reconfigured to create an accessible, functional pathway system throughout the park. Overgrown vegetation and gardens will be removed to create more open space. Park lighting and signage will also be improved. Some of the community outcomes anticipated as part of this project include:
- Renewed sense of community and pride of ownership in the space
- Incorporation of crime prevention through environmental design principles in the design
- Commercial opportunities for local businesses, artists and community members through its use as an event space
- Better engagement with arts and culture
- More opportunity for quality open space for people living in apartments in the surrounding area
Given its central location in Jackson’s Point, beneficiaries of this project will include local businesses and residents, seniors and low-income households, all of whom will use the new revitalized park.

What do I do if I find a discarded needle at a park or playground?
If you come across a discarded needle, it's important to handle the situation carefully to ensure everyone's safety. Do not touch the needle with your bare hands. Instead, use gloves, tongs or a similar tool to pick it up, place it in a hard plastic container, and seal it tightly. Once secured, take it to a York Region waste depot or use a designated sharps disposal container.
