City of Surrey 2020-2024 Financial Plan

PARKS, RECREATION AND CULTURE

• West Village Park, built in collaboration with District Energy, is a unique and interesting public open space in City Centre. The hexagonal geometrics of the landscape design reflects the “carbon” atom and theme of “energy” for the site; • City of Surrey Cemetery Services completed their master plan for Surrey Centre in the summer of 2019. Implementation of the concept plan provides a park-like experience for visitors and increased capacity for inground and cremation interment by allocating additional areas for interment; • The North Surrey Sport & Ice Complex opened on September 3, 2019. The facility features three sheets of ice, community meeting spaces, skate and helmet rentals, skate sharpening, food services, multi-purpose rooms, and outdoor activity areas; • Public art by Katzie First Nation's artist Trenton Pierre and free three-hour parking. The Fitness and Wellness space is scheduled to open in January 2020; • Completed the Tamanawis Park synthetic turf replacement on field #1, resolving a long-standing drainage problem on this field. This project also included the installation of a roof cover for bleachers along the north side of the field; and • Public artworks unveiled in 2019 include: Phyllis Atkins’s artwork for Bear Creek Bridge titled “We Are All Connected to This Land”; Erica Stocking’s artwork “Blankets” at West Village Energy Centre, “The Frasers” creative bicycle racks for Fleetwood Town Centre by Laara Cerman, Chito Maravilla’s mural and gate titled “view from the Topo and Lifting Hands” for Maple Park and; 2019 public art street banners by Debbie Westergaard Tuepah and Katina Giesbrecht.
