Lower Spencer Creek Conservation Area and Canal Park

A new Management Plan will be written for Lower Spencer Creek Conservation Area, and will also include Canal Park. Lower Spencer Creek is a 30-hectare natural area with one linear trail. This Management Plan will update and replace the 1997 Spencer Creek Watershed Management Plan and 2010 Lower Spencer Creek Subwatershed Stewardship Action Plan. Neighbours to this property include Royal Botanical Gardens and McMaster University. Key topics will include enhancing connections to local trail networks and supporting visitation while protecting the creek and the surrounding natural area.

This Plan will also include Canal Park, a 1-hectare park with a looped trail and a pavilion. The plan will incorporate background studies, development plans, capital project development and site management since it was acquired in 2008. Enhancing connectivity and visitor access will be key topics, along with supporting the natural habitat found on this small property.

We want to hear from you. Please complete both the Lower Spencer Creek survey and the Canal Park survey.
