The new park will be called Carousel Green. To assemble the lands needed for Carousel Green it will be necessary to: (a) enact a By-law stopping-up and closing a portion of William Jackson Drive, (b) acquire lands from the Region of Durham south of William Jackson Drive, (c) transfer to the Region adjacent lands to be added to Brock Road, and (d) grant utilities easements to Elexicon Energy, Enbridge Gas, Region of Durham and Bell Canada. 2.0 Relationship to the Pickering Strategic Plan: The recommendations in this report respond to the Pickering Strategic Plan Priority of: Advance Innovation & Responsible Planning to Support a Connected, Well-Serviced Community. 3.0 Financial Implications: There are no financial implications. The subject lands are being conveyed for nominal consideration. 4.0 Discussion: The purpose of this report is to seek Council approval for the By-law, transfers and easements necessary to create a new park space in Duffin Heights. The new park will be called Carousel Green. Carousel Green is shown on Attachment 1. The existence of four City village greens (two on the east side of Brock Road and two on the west side of Brock Road) was identified in the revised Duffin Heights Development Guidelines, adopted by City Council on May 19, 2009. The exact locations of these Village Greens were to be confirmed through future development applications. On January 18, 2010, Council passed Resolution #09/10 which endorsed Staff Report #01-10 (dated January 4, 2010) providing for the development of draft plan of subdivision SP-2008-08, registered as Plan 40M-2479 with the location of a village green on the most westerly leg of William Jackson Drive. That is where Carousel Green will be constructed. A title search has revealed that Parts 1 to 7, Plan 40R-33048 and Parts 29 to 33, Plan 40R- 33051 are owned by the Region of Durham. These lands are required for Carousel Green. On LEG 05-26 May 25, 2026 Page 3 February 25, 2026, Regional Council accepted Report #2026-W-3 and authorized the conveyance to the City of Parts 1 to 7, Plan 40-33048 and Parts 29 to 33, Plan 40R-33051, for nominal consideration, subject to any required easements and subject to the acquisition by the Region of Part 1, Plan 40R-33051 for nominal consideration. The lands being transferred from the Region of Durham to the City are outlined in blue on Attachment 2. A portion of William Jackson Drive, described as Part 1, Plan 40R-33051 is owned by the City, however, it lies within the Brock Road corridor. As Brock Road is a regional road, Part 1, Plan 40R-33051 should be transferred to the Region for nominal consideration in exchange for the Region’s transfer to the City of the lands required to complete Carousel Green. The lands being transferred to the Region of Durham are outlined in orange on Attachment 2. Before the transfers of land can be completed, a portion of William Jackson Drive, being Parts 1 to 27, Plan 40R-33051, must be stopped-up and closed as public highway. The By-law stopping up and closing a portion of William Jackson Drive is Attachment 3, and the lands to which the By-law applies are outlined in green on Attachment 4. As development progressed in Duffin Heights, hydro, telephone, natural gas and sewer lines were constructed to service the community. These lines cross Carousel Green. To recognize this existing infrastructure, it is necessary to grant and register easements in favour of Elexicon Energy, Bell Canada, Enbridge and the Region of Durham. These easements are shown in Attachments 5-8. Attachments: 1. Carousel Green Concept Site Plan 2. Map of lands to be transferred to and from the Region of Durham 3. Stop Up and Close By-law 4.
