Dr. Hal Weinberg Spirit Park Expansion

Dr. Hal Weinberg Spirit Park — located at 1009 Ravenswood Drive in Anmore — is Anmore’s primary outdoor gathering space. We’re exploring an expansion that integrates the Village’s Ravenswood lot and better connects the park with the Anmore Community Hub.

Guided by community feedback, technical analysis, and budget considerations, we’ll be developing concept options that enhance recreation, gathering spaces, and connections to nature.

Project Details

To support planning, staff and engineers created a preliminary concept map based on technical site assessments. While the road alignment, parking area, plaza, and gazebo are confirmed, all other features are ideas only. We are working with residents to identify priority elements as the project moves forward.

Review the draft concept plan in the information boards.

Some elements of the park are already confirmed and will not change as a result of the engagement process:

  • Road alignment and parking area design (including expanded parking with accessible and electric vehicle spaces)
  • Gazebo (remaining in its current location)
  • Plaza (outdoor event space with step seating, connected to the Hub)
  • Access points and pathways connecting the park with the Anmore Community Hub

Community Engagement

Earlier this spring, the Village began Phase 1 of community engagement for the future of Dr. Hal Weinberg Spirit Park. Residents shared ideas at the Easter Egg Hunt and through an online feedback form. This input—along with future feedback—will guide the park’s design alongside budget and infrastructure considerations.

Residents shared ideas for five key areas of the park:

  • Open Lawn – Support for an outdoor amphitheatre, covered picnic area, and recreation amenities like a ping pong table.

  • Natural Forest – Keep it natural with added walking paths and benches.

  • Active Park – Interest in a bike pump track; some preferred restoring the space to forest.

  • Playground – Nature-themed play, accessible equipment, and creative themes.

  • Meadow Area – Preserve the meadow or add features like a garden or junior pump track.

Other popular ideas included mini golf, a community garden, and a toddler play area. While a community pool was often suggested, it isn’t feasible due to infrastructure constraints.

With Phase 1 complete, we’re moving into Phase 2 this fall. Using the ideas and priorities shared so far, we’ll work with local groups, committees, and community members to refine the preferred park design. Stay tuned for updates as the process moves forward.
