About this project

Bronte Beach is located at 45 West River Street, and within Bronte Inner Harbour. The site is adjacent to Bronte Creek and is directly connected to Lake Ontario. Bronte Beach Park is the only sand shoreline along the Oakville boundary. 

In 2018 a master plan of the proposed park site was introduced to the public as part of the Bronte Harbour boat launch ramp redevelopment. The master plan for the park addressed several issues including but not limited to additional pathways, junior and senior play structure, shelter, Bronte Beach sand renourishment/retention, lighting and landscaping.

The town is moving forward with implementation of phase two that includes improved trail connectivity, junior and senior play structure, shade structure, seating, lighting, beach renourishment and landscaping.

Project status

A public open house meeting was held on April 10, 2024, to display the updated master plan.

The project is anticipated to be tendered in summer 2024, with construction starting in the fall of 2024.
