Building and Construction Projects

Rotary Park - Began August 2024

The Rotary Park project, approved by Orangeville Council in June of 2022, is planned over six phases:

• watermain work - completed 2024
• play structure - old structure removed August 2024
  • consultation on the new play structure began in June 2025
  • a public survey was conducted to review three proposed designs
• tennis and pickle ball courts
• parking lot and artificial skating loop
• sports fields (baseball and soccer)
• club house

Next steps: Once the playground survey closes on June 13, Town staff will review the results and announce the winning design. From there, we'll meet with contractors, the Rotary Club, and others involved on the projects to set a timeline for construction.  

This project is being completed by a private sector contract, RK & Associates Consulting Inc.

Water storage standpipe construction

A new standpipe is being built near Town of Orangeville Well 5 to provide continued water service in the area. The project began in the spring of 2024.

Pumping station:

As of January 2026, the pumping station work has been completed and it is ready to go into service.

Project background:

• excavation for the building foundation started the end of June 2024
• formwork started the end of June 2024

• construction of the building continued into the fall, including the roof

• installation of piping and equipment installed and tested in 2025

Standpipe:

January 2026 update: the standpipe was filled with water in early January and is expected to be fully online and running to the Town's water distribution system by early February.

• excavation started mid July 2024

• concrete pour for the base was at the beginning of December

• the concrete was left to cure over the winter

• watermain installation to connect the pumping station to the standpipe is almost complete (June 2025)

• panels for the standpipe have been constructed by the manufacturer, actual installation/assembly will start mid-August 2025(based on the private sector contractor’s availability

• standpipe was fully constructed and security fencing put up by the end of 2025
• water quality testing to be completed ahead of coming online

Hansen Boulevard connection

The alignment of Hansen Boulevard was planned through a municipal class environmental assessment completed through 2006-2007.

The western stretch of Hansen Boulevard, between Blind Line and Veteran’s Way, has been constructed in incremental segments over a 10-year period. Segments were completed as surrounding residential subdivision developments were constructed, by the project developers.

Segments completed to date (February 2024) include: 

• Eastern segment near Blind Line and Meyer Drive and Mason Street (Plan 7M-42), completed in 2008; 
• Western segment adjacent to Veteran’s Way and the western leg of Parkinson Crescent (Plan 7M-47), completed in 2012; and 
• West-central segment near Drew Brown Boulevard and the eastern leg of Parkinson Crescent (Plan 7M-70), completed in 2016. 
• The road also crosses over a tributary of the Lower Monora Creek. This crossing was designed by the Town and constructed in 2023 in anticipation of the completion of the road. 

The last remaining stretch of Hansen Boulevard falls within future subdivision lands owned by the developer. 

Why was the work not completed before?

• The developer was unable to proceed with building the subdivision, as it requires the sale of homes within the development to begin. Construction economy and the current challenges in the real estate market have delayed this. Similar delays have occurred in other jurisdictions.
• The Town cannot build the road itself as the lands are owned by the developer, not the Town.
• Provisions can be put in place to allow construction to be completed in a timely matter, such as the Town completing approvals. When the developer is ready to move forward, all the steps are in place from the Town’s end for them to proceed.

September 2025 update: work began the week of September 10, 2025 on the next phase of the Hansen Boulevard subdivision by Great Gulf. Internal road construction will eventually include the Hansen Boulevard connection. 

December 2025 update: paving on a portion of Hansen Boulevard, allowing access to the new subdivision for construction vehicles began. This portion of the road is not the full connection, and is not useable by the public, but is the first step towards next phases of the project.
