'Now we can be out and be active, and be safe.' - Brittany Tibbo The $10-million Kenmount Terrace Community Park comes after years of complaints from residents who felt the relatively new neighbourhood lacked the green space and walking trails they were promised during the early years of development. But following a two- year engagement process and the creation of a steering committed made up of residents, the park is now set to become a reality.
