The intent of this Practicum is to explore the redevelopment of the Windsor Park Golf Course in Winnipeg, Manitoba. This aim was instigated by the release of an Expression of Interest by the City of Winnipeg in the fall of 2011 to sell a number of its publicly owned golf courses of which Windsor Park was named.
The land currently occupied by the golf course is rich with natural amenities, which includes a long and contiguous riparian corridor, mature patches of valuable upland forest, and areas of natural drainage. The overarching goal of this practicum is to retain these ecosystem services by implementing best practices that promote a repurposing of existing land use, create a new residential neighbourhood to limit new urban sprawl and enhance accessibility for residents and visitors.
