About Jack Purdie Park

This park was named 'John' (Jack) Purdie Park in 1992. Jack Purdie served on Town Council for 8 years, was recognized for his devotion to many minor sports teams and fought with the Essex Kent Scottish Regiment in WWII. This park is classified as a 4.6 hectare Community Park located within the Monopoly subdivision in the heart of Amherstburg. The park underwent an extensive public consultation at the same time as H. Murray Smith Centennial Park. Several designs were developed, and Council approved a Master Plan for the park in 2022. In 2023 a new accessible playground was installed as phase 1 of a multi-year phased project. The image below shows the current condition of the park. The final image is the proposed approved Master Plan which will be implemented as funding permits.

AKO Park

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.
