Powerline Linear Park, Phase 2
Located in the Southridge neighborhood of Upper Mission, the second phase of Powerline Linear Park will use the Fortis Power Corridor as a recreational trail system and connect the Upper Mission to the future Tower Ranch neighbourhood.
The vision for Powerline Linear Park is to maintain the natural setting with its existing grassland and native vegetation and respect the natural scenery and landscape. Development for the second phase of Powerline Park will include adventure-style outdoor recreational activities and amenities to suit the nature of the rolling landscape of the park.

History of Public Consultations
An open house was hosted on February 25, 2010 at Chute Lake Elementary School. Residents were invited to provide their comments and ask questions to help refine the design. A summary
of comments are now available.
Preliminary design concepts were first introduced to the public in June, 2009. The idea of planning an adventure style recreation park was well received.
