The City of Richmond Hill is hosting an Open House at Sterling Creek Park.

The event will mark the opening of the lake at Sterling Creek Park to swimming and non-motorized water sports including kayaking and paddle boarding. The Open House will be held on Saturday, May 4, 2024 from 11 a.m to 2 p.m at 1700 Elbow Swamp Rd.

This event will provide an opportunity for the public to explore the park and provide input on activities they would like to see there.  A ribbon cutting will be held at 11:30 am.

“We are excited about the opening of the lake area,” said Mayor Russ Carpenter. “This beautiful park has the potential to provide a plethora of recreational activities right in the heart of our city.”

The City is currently in the process of updating the Master Plan for the 187-acre park. The plan aims to maximize the use of the land, in hopes of creating an efficient and effective space that improves and creates new passive outdoor recreation opportunities.
