Construction Starts at Linda McKinlay Square in Comber

Construction of the new Linda McKinlay Square in Comber is now underway and is expected to continue into December. 

While the park construction is expected to be completed this year, weather permitting, the grand opening will take place in the Spring of 2026. 

The space in Comber, formerly dubbed the “Comber Gathering Centre,” was purchased in 2024 as part of the Phase 1 projects under the Community Support Agreement with Hydro One. The square will feature new landscaping, a gazebo, seating, as well as a digital welcome sign to help share information and events with Comber residents. 

At the meeting of May 20, 2025, Lakeshore Council approved the use of McKinlay’s name for the space.
