Peterborough, ON – Construction of a bike pump track, expanded skateboard park, pickleball courts, and associated features at Bonnerworth Park at Monaghan Road and McDonnel Street is continuing. There is no injunction against the project and there is no scheduled court date.

Reports that the application by Friends of Bonnerworth Park will be heard by the Superior Court of Justice on November 25, 2024 are incorrect.

The City has been informed that the applicant’s current law firm, Kraemer LLP, does not intend to handle the injunction application going forward and that Friends of Bonnerworth Park plans to retain new legal counsel.

City Council approved direction on Monday, November 12, 2024 to authorize the City to respond to the injunction application in the Superior Court of Justice.

As this is a legal matter, the City’s public communications on the matter will be through legal counsel and through its response to the court filing.
