Representing a key investment in Brown’s Bay infrastructure and future sustainability, the completed project brings a new bayfront building to Brown’s Bay Beach and Picnic Area, with accessible, gender-neutral washrooms and change rooms, an area for food and beverage service, a new perched beach area and a new and improved septic system.
Funded through investment by the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport (MTCS) and bolstered by the St. Lawrence Parks Commission (SLPC)’s Internally Restricted Reserve, SLPC’s oldest and most iconic park is the first beach to undergo revitalization. This initiative is part of planned upgrades to all parks, fulfilling the strategic objectives set out in SLPC’s strategic plan, Strengthening our Foundation for a Sustainable Future (2021-2026).
