Lot 108 (Forrest Field)

The Lot 108 Phase 2 Upgrade Project represents the next step in realizing the Town of Ladysmith’s long-term vision for a vibrant, inclusive, and multi-use community park at Forrest Field. Building on the foundational work completed in Phase 1—including accessible walkway development, parking improvements, and the installation of a warm-up practice pitch—Phase 2 focuses on expanding recreational opportunities and enhancing the overall user experience for residents and visitors alike.

Guided by the 2019 Lot 108 Park Plan Update, Phase 2 will introduce several new amenities that reflect community priorities and evolving recreational trends. Planned upgrades in Phase 2 include the construction of pickleball courts, a bike skills park, and the completion of the outdoor fitness area. These additions aim to foster active lifestyles, support youth and adult sports programming, and create welcoming spaces for social connection and outdoor enjoyment.

The Town of Ladysmith continues to work closely with local stakeholder groups and service clubs to ensure the park’s development aligns with community needs and values. Through thoughtful planning and phased implementation, Lot 108 is being transformed into a destination park that contributes meaningfully to the health, well-being, and vibrancy of Ladysmith.

The funding for this project comes from Parks Reserves, Development Cost Charges, and the Canada Community-Building Fund.
