The City requires Developers to install chain link fences on private property abutting neighbourhood and community parks situated on tableland (flatland). The exception to this would be if the property abuts a playing field.
The City also requires that developers install chain link fences on private property abutting municipally owned or conservation authority owned natural areas (woodlots, valley lands). For more information, please contact the builder directly.
A fence gate is permitted to promote park use. Gates are typically installed between private property and neighbourhood or community parks in new subdivisions by the Developer. However, a gate is not permitted between private property and woodlots, valley lands or conservation areas.
The Developer builds gates where the City feels they are appropriate. Residents may change the location of the gate at their own expense, but the gate must meet City standards. For more information, contact
