Designs have been unveiled for a massive new park in Hamilton's east end.
The project will result in a new active and passive park on the site of the former Rennie and Brampton Street landfills.
Ward 4 Councillor Sam Merulla says it will include everything from new trails and picnic areas to soccer pitches and a water park feature, along with a pedestrian bridge over the QEW that will link the park to the waterfront.
Plans also call for the construction of a consolidated public works yard on a portion of the former landfill, an addition to the project which has upset some residents.
Brenda Johnson says it's like "trashing the area one more time".
The 23 million dollar project will be paid for with 14 million dollars in provincial funding and nine million that the city collects through water rates.
