The Township of Ashfield-Colborne-Wawanosh is excited to announce the upcoming revitalization of Benmiller Park with the installation of a brand-new playground, an accessible path, and a safety barrier fence. This project represents a significant investment in recreation and community spaces for residents and visitors.

The new playground will feature modern, accessible equipment designed to encourage active play, imagination, and outdoor fun for children of all ages and abilities. The addition of an accessible path will ensure barrier-free movement throughout the park, while a new safety fence will provide a secure play environment for families. These enhancements align with the Township’s Parks and Recreation 10-Year Strategic Plan and the recently developed ACW Park Concept Plans, which identify Benmiller Park as a key location for revitalization and enhanced community use.

The project has been made possible through the support and hard work of the Benmiller Community Hall Committee, whose tireless fundraising efforts and dedication have been instrumental in turning this vision into reality. Additional funding support has been provided through the Huron County SLED Grant and the AccessSled Grant, supporting both the park’s growth as a community destination and its accessibility.

Construction is expected to begin this fall. The Township encourages residents to follow updates on the project through this webpage and social media channels. 

Plans are subject to change as the project develops.
