Open House on Kinsmen Norman Road Park Redevelopment

Published

The City of Windsor is moving forward with exciting plans to redevelop Kinsmen Norman Road Park, aiming to enhance year-round use, improve accessibility, and elevate the overall quality of this valued neighbourhood green space.

As part of the City’s Rediscover Our Parks Master Plan and broader planning initiatives, including Planning for Windsor’s Growth and Housing Solutions Made for Windsor, the redevelopment will include modern upgrades that reflect community priorities. Initial work is already underway, including the removal of an outdated washroom building.

To support these improvements, the City is proposing a Zoning By-law amendment for the southern portion of the park to enable future residential development. This amendment would rezone the area from Green District 1.1 (GD1.1) to Residential District 1.2 (RD1.2), allowing for the creation of six single-unit dwelling lots. Revenue from this development will help fund the park enhancements.

Residents are invited to attend a public information centre (PIC) in person or virtually to learn more about the proposed zoning changes:
