Hello Ward 8 Neighbours,
The first phase of the Sam Lawrence Park Master Plan construction starts at the beginning of May . During construction, the parking lot on the west side of the park will be closed. Work is expected to wrap up at the end of July 2024 (weather permitting)

Many of Sam Lawrence Park’s existing features are in decline due to age, weathering, slope movements and vandalism and are in need of upgrade. As such, the City has the opportunity to re-examine the park’s existing uses and re-imagine future uses, through a Master Plan process: a process that was last undertaken in 1994.
In September 2020, Hamilton City Council approved the Sam Lawrence Park Master Plan, led by a team of City staff and consultants.
As the City and region continue to grow, this valued public space will take on more significance as a prominent city-wide park, serving local residents and those in the Hamilton region.
The upcoming work at Sam Lawrence Park involves the construction of asphalt multi-use trails, concrete sidewalk, parking lot and driveway improvements, stone seat walls, lighting, asphalt painting, drainage improvements, site furnishings, and tree planting. During this time park users and neighbours may experience some inconveniences such as noise, dust, and restricted traffic movement.
Every effort will be made by the City of Hamilton to complete the work in a timely manner and to keep any inconvenience to a minimum. The City asks for your patience during this period.
