| Constitution Park |
P-111 |
The City of London was approached by the Fanshawe Optimists
with a proposal to fund the development of a child/youth
recreation amenity in Constitution Park. Constitution Park is a
District Park serving residents in an area generally bound by
Fanshawe Park Road E., Sunningdale Rd. E, Adelaide St. N. and
Highbury Avenue N. This is a wonderful opportunity for the City
and the neighbourhood and provides an occasion to review how the
park can best be developed to meet the surrounding community’s
recreation needs.
A public meeting was held on March 21, 2013 to provide the
public with an opportunity to express their visions for the
park. Attached is a copy of the
Presentation Boards
used at the meeting.
Construction in the park would proceed in the summer/fall of
2013. |

City of London Western Counties Health and Occupational
Centre Grounds: Cultural Heritage Plan
The Western Counties Health and Occupational Centre Grounds were
situated adjacent to the Westminster Ponds due to the
therapeutic value of the natural setting. The centre was a
rehabilitation facility, veterans’ residence and a care
infirmary for returning Veterans from WWII. Since the closure of
the centre in the late 1980s, the buildings have been utilized
to house a Radar Museum, Reforest London offices and the TVDSB
Nature Centre, amoung others. Recently due to the extremely poor
condition of the structures, several of the original site
buildings have been demolished, and only four remain on the
London Health Sciences Centre portion of the property. The site
has retained many of the landscaped features and planned
vegetation, including ponds, woodlands, circulation system, and
natural areas consistent with the original landscape plans for
the grounds adjacent to the Westminster Ponds ESA.
On Wednesday November 14, 2012, MHBC presented the newly developed Cultural
Heritage Master Plan to London’s Advisory Committee on Heritage. A
slide show,
prepared by the consultant, presented
three options for implementation.
