The City of Burlington is renewing Sweetgrass Park, located at 555 Woodview Rd.

This renewal is guided by consultation with the Indigenous Talking Circle and the City of Burlington’s commitment to celebrating Indigenous Peoples’ traditions and unique culture.

Full moon ceremonies typically happen at or near sunset, with a reflection on the previous month, and setting intentions for the month to come. The space will be designed to safely support the ceremonial fire used during full moon ceremonies.
