Make Your Mark on Innisfil Beach Park

We're revitalizing Innisfil Beach Park! Council approved the Final Concept for Innisfil Beach Park in May 2023, which contains nearly 50 projects.

Planned over three phases, improvements will upgrade existing amenities, ease traffic congestion, and introduce new amenities in underutilized sections of the park. After years of planning, public engagement, and design, construction has started on Phase 1 improvements.

Phase 1 Construction - Construction May 2025 to October 2026

The park remains open during construction, with temporary closures and staged construction zones allowing residents and visitors to continue enjoying its diverse recreational offerings.
