Construction of Gorillas Park including planting a mini-forest to reduce the risk of extreme heat in the Rosemont La-Petite-Patrie Borough
FY 2024-25 · 2024-12-18
Summary
The construction of the Gorillas park aims at reintroducing a densely planted natural infrastructure in the heart of a very mineral and unstructured neighborhood in order to mitigate the risks of extreme heat in the Marconi-Alexandra sector. In addition to the complete conservation of the existing wasteland and ditch, the new infrastructure mainly includes the intensive re-naturalization of 78% of the site (planting of 3000 trees to create a mini-forest) and the integration of bioretention infrastructures for the ecological management of rainwater from the park and Waverly Street. In addition to the complete conservation of the existing wasteland and ditch, the new infrastructure includes the intensive renaturalization of the site over 78% of its surface area (mini-forest type planting of 3,000 trees), the development of thematic gardens (food gardens, "garden of the senses", etc.), the construction of an agora allowing for multiple appropriations by the community, and the integration

Description (French)
La construction du parc des Gorilles vise à réintroduire une infrastructure naturelle densément plantée au cœur d’un quartier très minéral et déstructuré afin d’atténuer les risques de chaleur extrême dans le secteur Marconi-Alexandra et ainsi d'améliorer la qualité de vie des communautés résidentes du quartier et usagères du parc. Outre la conservation intégrale de la friche et du fossé existants, la nouvelle infrastructure prévoit notamment la renaturalisation intensive du site sur 78% de sa superficie (plantation de type mini-forêt de 3000 arbres), l’aménagement de jardins thématiques (jardins nourriciers, « jardin des sens », etc.), la construction d’une agora permettant des appropriations multiples par la communauté, ou encore l’intégration d'infrastructures de biorétention pour la gestion écologique des eaux pluviales du parc et de la rue Waverly qui le borde.
