Kinsmen Norman Road Park Redevelopment Open House
The City of Windsor is moving forward with plans to redevelop Kinsmen Norman Road Park. The proposed upgrades are designed to enhance year-round use, improve accessibility, and elevate the overall quality of this neighbourhood park. Initial work has begun with the removal of an outdated washroom building. This project aligns with the Rediscover Our Parks Master Plan and broader city planning initiatives, including Planning for Windsor’s Growth and Housing Solutions Made for Windsor.
Upcoming Open House - June 26, 2025
A public information centre (PIC) will be held as part of the proposed Zoning By-law amendment for a portion of Kinsmen Norman Road Park to support future residential development, which will help fund the planned park improvements. The proposal would rezone the southern portion of the park from Green District 1.1 (GD1.1) to Residential District 1.2 (RD1.2) to create six single-unit dwelling lots. This meeting forms part of the ongoing Planning process in advance of the statutory public meeting required under the Planning Act to obtain approvals.

Summary of Previous Public Engagement
The redevelopment process began with a public open house in 2022 to gather community input on priorities and ideas for park improvements. In 2024, a concept plan was presented to the public at an open house on December 2, 2024, along with an online survey that received 117 responses. Feedback showed strong support for upgrades such as new pathways, lighting, benches, and trees, with residents emphasizing safety, accessibility, and inclusive outdoor spaces. The display boards from the open house in December 2024 are available below:
