Cumberland Park Redesign - Flood Control Dry Pond
Official title: Cumberland Park Redesign
Why This Matters
Live near Cumberland Avenue and Main Street? Your neighbourhood has flooded before and will likely flood again with climate change. This project aims to protect homes and businesses from future storms. The park will be closed until 2027, so expect detours.
What Could Change
A new dry pond will store water from 1-in-10-year storms, protecting 22 buildings that previously flooded. The park will be redesigned with new infrastructure. Construction runs until fall 2026, with landscaping and maintenance before the 2027 reopening.
Key Issues
- How should the park be redesigned to accommodate flood control infrastructure?
- What features do residents want in the redesigned park?
How to Participate
- Review the Engagement Summary Report to see how community feedback shaped the design.
- Sign up for construction updates by emailing constructionupdates@saskatoon.ca with 'Cumberland Park' as the subject.
What Happened
Community feedback was gathered through an information session on September 11, 2024 and an online survey that closed September 20, 2024. The feedback was considered in the final design. Construction is now underway.
