As shown above the study area includes Assumption Park (Regional Park), Earnest Atkinsons Park (Neighbourhood Park) which provides a skateboard park and an outdoor swimming pool, Wellington Park (Neighbourhood Park) and Adie Knox Complex / Wilson Park (Community Park) which provides baseball diamonds and a community centre with indoor ice pads. The study area also contains a multi-use trail known as Legacy Park/Gateway Gardens that runs above the international rail tunnel between Canada and the USA. The multi-use trail not owned by the City of Windsor and is showing signs of neglect with garbage and debris building up within the vegetation.
The University Avenue West and Victoria Avenue Environmental Assessment should also place importance on pedestrian crossings at the International Garden location where is crosses University Avenue West, just west of Wellington Avenue.
RECOMMENDATION: Support the University Avenue West and Victoria Avenue Environmental Assessment to include a pedestrian crossing linking the International Gardens multi-use trail across University Avenue West.
