About the Jackie Renninger Park Master Plan
In 2023, structural issues and safety concerns at Pipeline Skate Park, shared by both park maintenance staff and park users, prompted the need for significant updates to Jackie Renninger Park, beginning with a master plan. The Jackie Renninger Park Master Plan was completed in February 2025 following more than a year of community engagement, including four public meetings and a community survey. The 35% design phase of the project is nearly complete and will be shared at the Open House on June 6. Following the 35% design phase, the project will be put on hold until future funding is secured.
