Some good reviews for proposed upgrades at an east end neighbourhood park in Windsor.
The city held an open house Tuesday to get feedback on the changes coming to Realtor Park, which is a 25 acre neighbourhood park located between Homedale Blvd. and Coventry Court in Ward 6.
The city is looking at building a two kilometre trail around the perimeter of the park.
A new spray pad was installed last year, a new accessible playground will be installed by the end of this summer and the tennis courts have also been redone.

Manager of Parks Development for the City of Windsor Mike Clement expects the trail will be popular among residents.
"Similar to the uses of the Ganatchio trail and the other trails, they can walk, bike, run, walk, yeah all ages," says Clement.
Resident Teri-Lynn Conlon backs onto the park and tells AM800 News, she can't wait.
"It is exciting," she says. "We were very disappointed last year to see everything taken down, so it gives us a lot of hope to know they are doing something with the park."
$475,000 has been set aside to update Realtor Park and another $200,000 for the Edgar bikeway.
