Wow that's looking really good. Has there been any announcement to the official reopening of this park?

This is a bigger "hope" for downtown than the Warehouse Park!

Is this the washroom facility that's currently U/C?

I better wait until its finished to comment on what I think of it so far.

As mentioned before, I think the next phase should see a through-the-alley continuation of park connecting this piece to O-day'Min in a very artful way

Project update - November 2025
Construction is ongoing at the Beaver Hills House Park and Michael Phair Park.The overall site is expected to be open to the public before the end of 2025.
The new washroom facility and the bouldering wall in the northeast corner of Beaver Hills House Park will not be complete when the park opens. Construction on those elements will continue in 2026.
The updated parks include a number of wonderful additions. An enhanced connection was built between both parks, including the partial removal of the pre-existing retaining wall. This opens sightlines and increases pedestrian safety.
Both parks, including the alley between the two sites, have also been upgraded with improved hardscaping.
Park-specific upgrades include:
- Beaver Hills House Park
- Jasper Avenue Plaza
- Renewed Aboriginal Walk of Honour installed on a new gabion wall
- New seating and fire feature
- A new public art feature will be placed on the corner of Jasper Avenue and 105 Street-coming in spring 2026
- Reshaped planting beds and new informal seating walls.
- Heart of the Park: a new amphitheatre in the centre of the park with formal and informal seating around its periphery
- Activated back corner featuring a new bouldering wall - coming in early 2026
- Children’s natural play feature with a climbable beaver
- New washroom facility - coming in early 2026
- Jasper Avenue Plaza
- Michael Phair Park:
- New busker stage, seating, landscaping, and park lighting
- Decorative lighting. Installation is expected in spring 2026.

That will be a great spot (Jasper & 105 st) for a new public art piece. Curious to see what it's going to be
