The Township of Guelph/Eramosa's Parks & Recreation Department is committed to creating and maintaining high-quality parks, trails, open spaces, and recreational facilities that support active, healthy, and connected communities.
Through ongoing parks & facility improvements, trail development, and stewardship initiatives, we strive to provide residents with welcoming spaces to play, explore, gather, and enjoy the outdoors. Whether supporting active recreation through sports and outdoor activities or providing opportunities for passive recreation such as walking, relaxation, and connecting with the natural environment, our parks play an important role in enhancing quality of life throughout the Township.
This page highlights current and upcoming Parks projects taking place across the Township. Check back regularly to stay informed about the work being done to enhance and expand the parks and outdoor spaces that support recreation, well-being, and community connections for all residents.

Construction on the Royal Distributing Athletic Performance Centre Turf Replacement Project continues to progress well and remains on schedule. Since work began, the existing turf has been removed and grading of the field has been completed to prepare the site for the new playing surface. Crews are now in the process of laying the new turf, with sewing of the turf sections to follow. Once complete, field lines will be installed, followed by the placement of the rubber crumb infill. With each phase advancing as planned, the project continues to move steadily toward completion.

A few weeks into the Marden Park and Rockmosa Park Pickleball Court Projects, significant progress has been made as construction continues to move forward at both locations.
At Marden Park, crews have completed the initial grading work, leveled the court base material, and installed fence posts around the future courts. These important milestones have established the foundation for the next phase of construction and keep the project on schedule.
At Rockmosa Park, crews have removed the existing court fill and begun preparing the site for development. Installation of the subbase has been completed, along with drainage tile to support the long-term performance of the courts. Fence post installation will follow as work continues to advance.
Looking ahead, asphalt work is expected to begin in the coming weeks at both sites, marking a major milestone as the new pickleball courts start to take shape. Residents will begin to see the facilities come together and the vision for these exciting new recreational amenities become a reality.
