As part of The Parks and Playground Amenities Program (PAPA), The City of Calgary is working to revitalize and improve park spaces throughout Calgary. In the Ward 9, the community of Dover, will see park and playground updates starting this summer.

In Dover, 11 playspaces will be made better. 6 of these areas will get new playground features, and the other 5 will be changed to be more useful park features. On the map below, the places with green markers are playground updates where new equipment will be installed. The places marked in blue will have new park features added

Check out some of the upcoming events at the Dover Community Association this month.

As part of The Parks and Playground Amenities Program (PAPA), The City of Calgary is working to revitalize and improve 10 park spaces in Dover.

Beginning August 5th, community members are welcome to provide comments and feedback on how they would like to see their community parks improved, and what new amenities could make these spaces more suitable to their needs.  

Phase 2 of the Dover Neighbourhood Streets project will begin later this summer.

Phase 2 includes more walking and wheeling improvements and traffic calming along several streets in the Dover community, including 36 St. S.E., 28 St. S.E., Gosling Way S.E. and Dover Ridge Dr. S.E. The design process is underway and will incorporate feedback from Phase 1 engagement on initial concepts for these corridors.

CBC recently spoke with community volunteer Karen Begg, steward of the Dover Little Free Library, to learn about some of the incredible history and evolution of this wonderful community asset as it celebrates its 10th anniversary.

Located at 30th Avenue and 33rd Street SE, the Dover Little Free Library started as a way to share books, but has evolved over time to include things like seeds, food and produce, and a whole lot of community spirit.
