Elgin Street Sport Park

To date, the Township of Cramahe has allocated $89,000 to this revitalization project. In April 2025, The Parks & Recreation Committee received permission to launch a fundraising campaign focused on the rehabilitation of the current assets in the park (Phase 1).

The scope for Phase 1 is as follows:

• Tennis court resurfacing (and repositioning)
• Basketball court resurfacing
• Ball hockey court repair and painting
• New basketball nets and hardware
• New fencing (as needed)
• New lighting

The cost to achieve Phase 1 is anticipated to be approximately $250,000. Given the $89,000 already designated for this project, the Committee has set a fundraising goal of $160,000 to complete Phase 1.

All donations received with be designated for the rehabilitation of the Elgin Street Sports Park. Regardless of the total amount fundraised, the Committee intends to proceed with at least a portion of the Park’s rehabilitation in 2026 by completing as much of the project as can be delivered based on dollars available at that time. This decision would be part of the 2026 Township budget process.

The Township of Cramahe encourages resident involvement through a variety of boards and advisory committees.

• Our vision is to create a happy and healthy Township where Cramahe residents of all ages can play, learn, and build community.
• Our mission is to promote quality recreation opportunities for all Cramahe residents through the creation and enhancement of parks, facilities, and activities.

Cramahe Township will continue to experience unprecedented growth with more than 700 homes currently approved to be built, and new applications being expedited as a result of the Province of Ontario’s Bill 23, More Homes Built Faster Act.  

Our Committee wants to ensure this growth is positive for our community by creating spaces that:

In 1944, Mrs. B. Smith generously gifted Cramahe Township the land on Elgin Street South for a recreation site. This land was given in memory of her father, John Coyle.

June 14^th, 2024, marked the 80^th anniversary of this donation, and as the renewal of this space comes to life, the committee will explore incorporating this generous aspect of Cramahe history.

We are working with Heritage Cramahe to ensure this history is prominently captured within the space.

The Fundraising Goal to complete Phase 1 is $160,000.
