Municipality of Leamington Celebrates Completion of Boardwalk Extension Project Connecting Leamington's Waterfront

The Municipality of Leamington is thrilled to announce the successful completion of the Boardwalk Extension Project, a significant milestone in our ongoing efforts to transform Leamington’s waterfront into a must-experience destination. This transformative project now seamlessly connects the Leamington Marina to Seacliff Park, enhancing accessibility and offering a new experience for residents and visitors alike.

The Boardwalk Extension Project, a key component of the Waterfront Destination Master Plan, has been a long-anticipated endeavour to enhance and connect Leamington’s waterfront. With this expansion, Leamington residents and tourists can now enjoy an uninterrupted stroll along the shoreline, taking in views of Seacliff Beach and Lake Erie.

One of the project's notable features is the introduction of a new accessible mat system, specifically designed to improve accessibility for individuals with mobility challenges, families with strollers, and anyone seeking a smooth and safe pathway toward the water's edge. This portable pathway is adaptable to uneven surfaces, ensuring that everyone can fully enjoy the waterfront.

Mayor Hilda MacDonald expressed her enthusiasm about the project, saying, "The completion of the Boardwalk Extension Project and the introduction of the accessible mat system mark significant steps toward making Leamington's waterfront a must-visit destination for everyone. We are proud to create an environment that welcomes people of all abilities and backgrounds to enjoy the natural beauty that surrounds us."

“As we celebrate this achievement, we invite residents and visitors to explore the beauty of Leamington's waterfront and its enhanced accessibility features,” said Peter Neufeld, Chief Administrative Officer. “We look forward to sharing more exciting developments as we continue to pursue the vision outlined in our Waterfront Destination Master Plan.”
