The study makes 7 general recommendations, and includes an overall plan for the site. Key recommendations are the development of a splash pad at the south end of Kelso Beach Park (completed in 2012), a program to control Common Reed Grass (Phragmites australis) along the shoreline, electrical system upgrades to host more regional scale events, and the development of several features that pay homage to the history of First Nations and marine shipping in the City of Owen Sound. |
