Kildonan Meadows Park located on Kildonan Meadow Drive, south of Devonshire Drive is a great example of an Adopt-A-Park program. In addition to the regular maintenance that is supplied by Parks and Open Space Staff, volunteers in the community provide valuable services. This 11- acre park has a large pond, shelters and a newer play structure area complete with swings, slides and climbing apparatus.
Montrose Park located at Montrose and Fleet is another excellent example of how a community, and a school has pulled together to create a very beautiful outdoor experience. Not only do they make their area look great but they have a chance to get outdoors and have fun with their neighbours.
