Sweetgrass Park Renewal

Construction scheduleApril to July 2025Park Improvements DrawingView the full drawing document

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. The park improvement will consist of a ceremonial circle for full moon and other ceremonies and a contemplative area near Tuck Creek. 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.
