AKO Park

Venue

Originally established as Rossini Park in 1951, the Alpha Kai Omega (AKO) Fraternity began exploring how to become involved in the future development of the park when the City was constructing an athletic building on the site. In 1961, the neighbourhood centre was constructed as the first facility in Windsor designed specifically as a community centre. In 2007, the centre was renamed the Constable John Atkinson Memorial Community Centre, in honour of Constable John Atkinson, Windsor Police Services, who was killed in the line of duty. AKO Park has an outdoor spray pad featuring 22 different water toys, which are computer programmed for a sequence of water fun. The spray pad is open to the public at no charge from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. The Community Centre is available for birthday parties. For inquires, please call 519-945-2452.

Alton C Parker Park

Venue

This neighbourhood park was named in honour of Alton C. Parker, the first black officer on the Windsor Police Force. Alton Parker began his career in 1942, and in 1953 he became the first black detective in Canada. His career with the Windsor Police spanned 28 years. He received numerous awards in his lifetime, including the Order of Canada, the Ontario Bravery Medal for Good Citizenship and the Queen's Silver Jubilee Medal. During his retirement, Alton Parker organized a neighbourhood community party for local children. Each year Al and his wife Evelyn held a party for the neighbourhood children in this park that bears his name. They paid for the parties themselves. He did this because he loved children and believed he was blessed by God. Uncle Al's Annual Kid's Party provided fun to thousands of children for 25 years. In memory of Alton Parker, a statue of a policeman holding the hand of a child sits in the park. It is inscribed with the words from Alton C. Parker, "A lot of people talk about doing something for these kids. I don't just talk. I want to do it."

Amherstburg's Waterfront Festival Plaza

Venue

This 1.2 hectare Regional Special Purpose park is located directly south and abutting King's Navy Yard Park. The property was purchased by the Town in 2017 with the intent of re-developing it as expanded parkland. A municipal environmental assessment was completed in 2018 and a master plan was developed for the park. The high level master plan encompasses a transient marina, an outdoor ampitheatre/gather space and plaza to host special events complete with washroom facilities. Over the past several years the Town has been working with the Ministry of the Environment Conservation and Parks (MECP) to remediate the site so that it is suitable for use as a public park. The Town recently approved just over $3 million to remediate the shoreline with new rock revetment and steel sheet pile walls as well as clean up the site and install necessary subsurface infrastructure and site servicing. This project is nearing completion with a ribbon cutting and grand opening to be announced.
