The City of Richmond Hill has issued a service alert announcing the temporary closure of Coons Parkette. According to municipal authorities, the neighbourhood parkette has been closed to allow crews to carry out boardwalk assessment and repair work.
To ensure public safety while the structural evaluation and maintenance are underway, protective barriers have been installed. The city stated that both the Fern Valley Crescent and Lupine Crescent entrances to the parkette have been fenced off. The fencing is set to remain in place until all assessment and repair operations are complete.
The City of Richmond Hill apologized for any inconvenience caused by the closure. Community members with questions or inquiries can reach city staff by email at access@richmondhill.ca or by telephone at 905-771-8800.

What it means for residents
For residents in the immediate vicinity of Fern Valley Crescent, Lupine Crescent, and the broader Richmond Hill area, the temporary shutdown of Coons Parkette removes an accessible neighbourhood amenity and walking path. Even smaller parkettes serve as important daily thoroughfares and quiet outdoor green pockets for nearby households. Because access from both entering streets is completely fenced off, local pedestrians who typically cut through the boardwalk will need to reroute their daily walks along neighborhood sidewalks until the city concludes its safety work. Residents seeking timelines or clarification on the repairs can use the city's direct contact channels.
