Plans are moving forward for the Ed Broadbent Waterfront Park.
Oshawa City Council voted unanimously to move the project forward at its April 26 meeting.
Regional Councillor Brian Nicholson says the overall concept is an extremely important addition to the city’s waterfront.
“It gives an obvious tribute to Ed Broadbent and his contributions to our city,” he says, adding the sooner the project can be fully completed the better it’ll be for the entire community.

Cordova Valley Park and Fenelon-Venus Park are getting makeovers and the city is looking for the community’s input.
Ward 4 Regional and City Councillor Rick Kerr, chair of the community services committee, says this is “terrific news” for residents of all ages in these areas.
“In these pandemic times, enhanced outdoor activity opportunities are so important to the increased well-being of our fellow citizens,” he says.
Located at 811 Glen St., south of Bloor Street between Park and Ritson Roads, Cordova Valley Park will be the home of Oshawa’s newest off-leash dog area and will also feature a new playground, enhanced amenities and an improved soccer layout.
