Innisfil Beach Park is undergoing a major revamp, with nearly 50 projects included in the Final Concept Plan approved by Council back in May 2023.

“It’s been a busy summer as we worked on better beaches, a new washroom, and a new park exit,” the Town shared on social media Monday.

As the fall season approaches, crews have began merging Beaches 3 and 4 to create a larger waterfront with accessible paths.

• Phase 1 of Innisfil Beach Park construction underway

Town officials say work is also underway on new tennis and pickleball courts, along with the connection of the new exit road off the 25th Sideroad.

While some areas are temporarily closed for safety reasons, the rest of the park remains open for the community to enjoy throughout the cooler months.

According to the Town of Innisfil, this project is set to improve traffic flow, enhance beach areas, and introduce new recreational amenities to the community.

“After years of careful planning and valuable input from our residents, it’s exciting to see the revitalization of Innisfil Beach Park take shape,” said Mayor Lynn Dollin back in May. “Construction has been scheduled to minimize disruptions to current park usage as much as possible as we work to build more recreational opportunities, better access, and beautiful natural spaces for decades to come.”

Construction is being completed in three separate phases that will continue into 2036, with Phase 1 estimated to run until October 2026.

According to the Town, improvements in this phase include a new washroom pavilion, playground upgrades, new volleyball, tennis and pickleball courts, an off-leash dog area, a turning circle for easier drop-offs, as well as lager and more accessible beaches.

Trails, drainage systems, and park infrastructure are also being upgraded to support these amenities.
