About the project
The City of London is working to revitalize Silverwoods Park and make upgrades to the existing indoor space at the arena. This will ensure local residents and existing user-groups from other nearby communities have a welcoming space with updated sport and recreation amenities.
The ice at Silverwoods Arena was removed in 2019 following the opening of Bostwick Arena. Since that time, the cement dry pad rink has been continually used for various sport activities and events. This indoor space has become a vital recreation asset and an upgrade to the building is now required.

The park re-development
The improvements to the park will:
replace aged park infrastructure such as pathways and playground
replace existing wading pool or install a spray pad (depending on neighbourhood input)
