1917. Due to the heritage nature of the development site, Claremont Developments Inc., were
required to prepare a Heritage Interpretation Plan which includes reuse of the old barn beams
to construct benches and a public art installation, and plaques detailing the history of the site.

funded by the City of Pickering. The City’s share of the design and construction costs of the
park, including a 10% construction contingency is $2,318,018.00 (HST excluded). This amount
will be carried as the maximum amount for City reimbursement to Claremont Developments

4.0 Discussion:
The purpose of this report is to obtain Council’s approval to enter into a Park Construction
Agreement with Claremont Developments Inc., (Geranium Homes), to facilitate the
construction of Forsyth Park. This neighbourhood park, which is approximately 1.698 ha (2.471
ac) in area, is located between Franklin Street and Samarillo Place in the Hamlet of Claremont.
It will service the Clarehaven Estates subdivision and the greater population of Claremont. The
park will include an intermediate size soccer pitch, a large farm themed playground, a multi-
use sport court, a gazebo with adjacent amphitheater seating, pergola shade structures, and lit
walking paths.
The park is being named after G.M. Forsyth, a historically significant municipal leader and
farmer in Claremont. Forsyth held many major offices in Pickering Township and the Village of
Claremont over the course of his political career, culminating in his appointment as Warden of
Ontario County in 1923. During his appointment as Reeve of Pickering Township, he was
instrumental in bringing hydro-electric power to Claremont. The Forsyth farmstead property,
located at 5113 Old Brock Road still contains the two-storey brick farmhouse that was
ENG 03-26 April 7, 2026
Page 4
constructed in 1916. Forsyth was known to have Shorthorn cattle and Clydesdale horses on
the farm. The frame barn and four silos were demolished prior to the development of the site.
Due to the heritage nature of the development site, Claremont Developments Inc. completed a
Heritage Impact Assessment and prepared an Interpretation Plan as a requirement of their
subdivision agreement. The Interpretive Plan includes reuse of the old barn beams to construct
benches and a silo themed public art installation, and three interpretive plaques detailing the
history and evolution of the site and village of Claremont. These installations will be funded by
Claremont Developments Inc. and will be located within Forsyth Park.
Claremont Developments Inc. have obtained quotations for the design, contract administration
and construction of the park and have negotiated a fair and reasonable price consistent with
current market rates. Schollen & Company Inc., the Landscape Architects of record for the
park design, will be retained for construction administration services. Griffith Property Services
Inc., who are performing the landscape construction works for the balance of the Geranium
Homes sites within the Claremont Developments, are being retained for the park construction.
The costs for the base construction work such as site grading, topsoil spreading and seeding
will be funded by Claremont Developments Inc., as their obligation in the subdivision
agreement. The above base costs are to be funded by the City of Pickering. The City’s share
of the design and construction costs of the park, including a 10% construction contingency is
$2,318,018.00 (HST excluded). This amount will be carried as the maximum amount for City
reimbursement to Claremont Developments Inc., in the Park Construction Agreement. An
amount of $1,380.00 has been carried in the project costs for building permit application fees
for the shade structures to be constructed in the park. These funds will be transferred to the
City Development Department as part of the park project costs.
Funds were approved in the 2024 Parks Capital Budget for the construction of this park based
on a previously estimated cost of $2,271,200.00. The current estimated net project cost,
including design, construction, contract administration, and a 10% contingency is
$2,360,219.00 (net HST) or $2,620,919.00 (HST included). Approval for additional funds for
the contingency is being requested from the same source of funding (Development Charges)
to cover any unforeseen circumstances. All unused funds will be returned to source.
Park construction is to proceed during spring 2026 and is anticipated be completed by the end
of 2027.
