About this project

In 2007, the Town of Oakville identified that the west shore of Oakville Harbour and adjacent parks needed updates and improvements. A master plan was developed through consultation with residents and stakeholders, and Council approved the final plan in 2009.  The master plan covers a significant waterfront area and makes specific recommendations for Shipyard Park, Tannery Park, Walker Street Promenade and Waterworks Park.  

In 2012, Town Council approved funding for the first of four phases to implement the master plan.  

  • Phase 1: Oyster Bay (completed in 2014)
  • Phase 2: Tannery Hill and Observation Deck (completed in 2016)
  • Phase 3: Tannery and Waterworks Parks Shoreline (completed in 2019)
  • Phase 4: Shipyard Park (proposed to commence in fall 2025)
