FORT ERIE (July 6, 2022) – The Town of Fort Erie is excited to announce the recent opening of
Spears Park on June 29 and the completion of Phase 2 of Crystal Ridge Park on July 1.

Spears Park Now Open
Spears Park is a half-acre lot at the corner of Meadowood St. and Kerby St., in the recently
constructed Spears Estate subdivision off Spears Rd., within a short walking distance of Garrison
Road Public School. The park provides a multi-use facility that includes a play structure suitable
for a range of ages, a basketball and play court surface, a shade pavilion, benches, and a bike
rack. The park design aims to provide these amenities for a cross-section of the community.

Phase 2 of Crystal Ridge Park Completed
Crystal Ridge Park is a community park located behind the Crystal Ridge Arena and Library. The
park has been undergoing a phased renovation. Phase 2 improvements opened to the public on
July 1, 2022, and include a 4-court pickleball facility and shade structure, two dog parks, and a
new parking lot off Rebstock Road. In addition, benches, picnic tables, and bike racks are
provided throughout.

Phase 1 improvements opened in 2019 and include an open-air pavilion, a senior playground, a
junior playground, a tennis/pickleball court, a multi-use court for basketball and ball
hockey, and a toboggan hill for winter enjoyment.
