Furthermore, general park access will remain open to the public during construction. However, drivers and visitors should note that a portion of the Haskett Park parking lot will be unavailable for use on November 10.

What it means for residents
For residents in Newmarket and surrounding York Region communities, Haskett Park at 145 Millard Avenue remains an accessible public green space, but visitors planning trips on November 10 should prepare for minor site adjustments. Because a portion of the on-site parking lot will be blocked off between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m., available parking spaces may be limited throughout the day for visitors driving to the park.
