Topo Park is a new 0.22-hectare neighbourhood park located at the corner of East 16th Street and St. Andrews Avenue in Central Lonsdale. The park officially opened in July 2025.
This vibrant green space offers a welcoming environment for residents and visitors to gather, play, and connect with nature right in the heart of Central Lonsdale.
About the Design
Topo Park is designed to encourage year-round use, with features that prioritize sustainability and community well-being. The park includes:
- A gently sloping lawn for casual play and social gatherings
- Custom-designed wooden play structures, including a concrete slide and climbing wall
- A harvest table, shade trellis (to be installed in fall 2025), and diverse seating options
- Dense plantings and shade trees for comfort and natural cooling
- Pathways and lighting
About the Name
The name ‘Topo’ is an abbreviation of the word ‘topography,’ inspired by how the park’s design creatively embraces the site’s natural five-metre slope. Fun and functional design elements, like the climbing wall, large hill slide, and sloped stage with unique stepped seating, make the most of this dramatic terrain.
About the Project
Topo Park was developed in response to the increasing demand for public outdoor spaces in Central Lonsdale. The park’s design was shaped by community input during a public engagement process in 2021. Construction began in the summer of 2024 and opened to the community in July 2025. The park was delivered in partnership with Cressey Development Group as a condition of nearby development.
