We plan to upgrade the road closure space at the corner of Loyola Avenue and Pitt Street into a new pocket park. We’d love to hear your thoughts and ideas about how to bring more life, colour, and connection to this small green space.

This project is part of our commitment to enhancing local open spaces and creating more welcoming places for everyone to relax, connect, and enjoy the outdoors.
