Morrow Park Improvements

What's Happening

The City of Peterborough is inviting residents to learn about the Morrow Park Ball Diamond Improvements, provide feedback and share ideas on what park amenities they would like to see. The park is located at 171 Lansdowne St. W. in Otonabee Ward 1. The project will bring the diamond to a Premier/Level A diamond and improvements will not only extend the facility's overall lifespan but also enhance local programming opportunities and improve accessibility features.

The Ontario government is investing $1 million to help upgrade Morrow Park. The investment is part of the province's $200 million Community Sport and Recreation Infrastructure Fund (CSRIF) a province wide initiative that helps communities revitalize local facilities, grow the economy and promote active, healthy living across Ontario.

In 2023, the Parks and Outdoor Recreation Facilities Study sought input from the community to create long-term strategies for the provision of selected types of outdoor culture and recreation facilities. Including the Provision Strategy for Ball Diamond Facilities which reported on the nature of current supply and utilization of ball diamonds in the City. Morrow Park is currently a Level B ball diamond as noted in the strategy.

Upgrades to Morrow Park were identified in the strategy and data to support the long-term strategies was gathered through research, surveying user groups, and consultation meetings with stakeholders and community members.

In 2026, the improvements to Morrow Park Ball Diamond includes a new Premier/Level A ball diamond that incorporates a tension netting mesh backstop and screens, new dugouts, outfield and line fencing, batting cages, irrigation, accessible aluminum bleachers with media box, as well as sports field lighting that will provide consistent light levels across the ball diamond. The existing asphalt parking lot will also be rejuvenated.
