Westfort families have long cherished Wayland Park, not just as a recreational space, but as a vital part of our community's heartbeat. Over the years, however, it has become evident that Wayland Park isn't growing with our vibrant community. Our children, the backbone of our future, deserve a park where they can safely play and learn, with modern amenities just like those in other parts of Thunder Bay.

Imagine a multi-use structure right within our park that provides shade and shelter for rest, fosters community events, and is a beacon for gatherings throughout the year. Such a space would empower residents to come together, exchange stories, celebrate milestones, and foster a sense of communal belonging.

Alongside this structure, accessible washrooms, more seating, and designated picnic spaces would ensure that all families can enjoy the beauty of Wayland Park. Coupled with upgraded playground equipment and walking paths, we can ensure that everyone, regardless of ability or age, can relish in the park's offerings.

Prioritizing safety and inclusivity in these upgrades isn’t just an ideal—it’s a necessity. Our community is diverse and deserves a space that reflects that, where inclusivity is at the forefront of design. By enhancing these areas, not only do we improve the quality of life for current residents, but we also send a strong message that every member of our community matters and belongs.

Wayland Park deserves the same attention and care that other parks in our region have benefited from. Let us come together and advocate for these changes, ensuring a brighter, safer, and more inclusive park for everyone.

Sign this petition to urge local authorities to make these much-needed upgrades a reality. Let's invest in our community by transforming Wayland Park into a hub of activity, friendship, and inclusivity.
