Canvas Park is an activity-packed recreation center at the heart of Regions North, the latest addition to the growing New Haven community in Ontario. Centering on sports, family play, and social activities, the park offers a 5,000-square-foot lap pool, flexible lawn spaces, sport courts, and reservable outdoor spaces that residents can use for private gatherings and festivities. Wrapping around an indoor/outdoor recreation building, the site plan balances spaces for large events with intimate “backyards.” Aquatic facilities, basketball half-courts, pickleball courts, and open lawns complement a mounded “tot lot” and outdoor fitness areas that are designed and equipped for activity among friends and family.
