Upgrades to Medicine Hat’s Southridge Community Park continue this spring

Irrigation will start in late April, featuring daytime schedules to ensure the new plantings establish successfully and maintain the overall health of the park. The irrigation frequency will decrease once the plants are well-established, the city said.

Construction on a new wall adjacent to the east side of the washroom building will begin in early May. That will be followed by rehabilitation of the trail around the pond.

Visitors should anticipate intermittent closures of the washroom and trail during May and June, with specific dates to be announced as the schedule is finalized, according to the city.

Safety fencing is already in place around the pumphouse, and residents are encouraged to respect all signage and barriers.

The project team remains committed to environmental stewardship, particularly in managing water use.

The project aims to reduce water consumption through low-maintenance landscaping and a more efficient irrigation system.
