Community Update
June 2014
Dear Neighbours,
Gilmore Park News
Interested in having an event or party in Gilmore Park? Many neighbours have inquired if the park can be booked for birthday parties etc. The Recreation Parks and Culture Department has informed us that the gazebo and playground area is not a bookable space. If you want to have a party in the park a good idea would be to post the date and time on the community bulletin board. This doesn't mean that other people can not use the space at that time, but others will hopefully be courteous to clear the space for the party guests.
If you are planning an event that will impact the soccer field or access to the soccer field then you do need to book it through facility booking staff. You can book either by emailing facilitybookings@strathcona.ca or by calling 780-416-2211.
