Please note that construction on Phase 2 of Sylvan Lake Park upgrades is scheduled to start on April 29, 2019.
Specifically, we are paving the trail within the park, between Washroom #2 and 40 Street (See attachment for map), which will result in trail closures. A section of the Centennial Park parking lot will also close, as we use the space for staging.
We hope to have the trail paving completed by mid May, 2019
