What “Community Park” means
A larger park in the Town's classification, whose facilities serve a wider area than one neighbourhood.
The class is the label the Town attaches to the park in its open-data parks layer. OakvilleIQ reports the label; it does not read the Town’s parkland policy into it.
On the lakeshore
The park’s outline lies within 50 metres of the lake edge of the Town boundary, so OakvilleIQ marks it as a lakeshore park. This is a geometric reading of the Town’s boundary and parks layers, not a Town designation; the Town’s own waterfront-park list may differ where a park sits at a harbour or creek mouth.
How this page is built
Everything above comes from four Town of Oakville open-data layers. The parks layer gives the name, the classification and the outline, from which the area is computed; the ward boundaries and the Official Plan community outlines give the ward and community by the point at the park’s centre; the Town boundary gives the lakeshore reading; and the facilities layer gives every named facility whose point falls inside the outline. The Town also keeps a fuller parks inventory (court counts, playground ages, washroom seasons) that is public but not in its open-data catalogue, so it is not used here.
