Temporary off-leash dog park (new)

Off-leash dog parks are an important part of recreational spaces across many communities, including Orangeville. Many dog owners use these parks to make sure their pets receive enough exercise. Off-leash parks also provide a safe space for animals to run, play and socialize with other dogs.

In early 2024, the Town began the process of re-locating the current off-leash dog park located on north side of Hansen Road as it is being re-developed into new homes. 

Project background

The owner of the land hosting the current temporary off-leash dog park provided notice in 2024 that we will need to move the park to another location when they move forward with development.

  • multiple locations were deemed unsuitable for the dog park relocation
  • Town owned property north of Hansen Boulevard on County Road 16 has been secured as the location for the new temporary off-leash dog park
  • the new location is considered temporary

Current project progress

  • construction began late 2025 after securing a permit from Dufferin County to install the driveway access
  • spring 2026: grading is finished and ready for next steps to help create greenspace in the park. Fencing has been installed and the parking lot is completed. Driveway will be installed when the weather permits.
  • summer 2026: more features may be added if the project allows for it

Next steps

  • install culvert and driveway
  • installation of signage for off-leash dog park rules
  • hydro-seeding the area for grass growth

Building and other infrastructure projects

Orangeville Fire station – 10 Commerce Road

The Town of Orangeville is moving forward with the construction of a new fire station to support the continued growth of our community and enhance emergency response capabilities. This modern facility is designed to meet current and future operational needs, providing firefighters with improved training, equipment storage and living spaces while ensuring faster, more efficient service delivery to residents. The project reflects the Town’s commitment to public safety, sustainability and long-term infrastructure planning, serving as a critical asset in protecting the community for generations to come.

Project background

  • to replace an aging facility that no longer meets health, safety and operational needs of the Orangeville Fire Service and that meets accessibility, sustainability and code requirements
  • to provide a modern facility with space for training, operations and emergency coordination
  • to create a safer and more efficient work environment for firefighters

Current project progress

The project is currently in the early stages of construction. Work began in January 2026. 

  • preliminary site groundwork and site fencing – January 2026
  • excavation and grading of the building footprint – February 2026 
  • construction trailer installed and hydro connection completed – January 2026
  • heavy equipment mobilized on-site for grading and site preparation – January 2026
  • grading and groundwork activities underway, with subcontractors mobilized – February 2026
  • initial coordination meetings held to confirm timelines, materials and building systems (e.g., doors, security, IT, communications) – February 2026

Next steps

  • complete site grading and excavation of the building footprint – spring 2026
  • begin foundation work and underground servicing – spring/summer 2026
  • start structural construction of the fire station building – summer 2026

Stormwater management facility – Young Pond rehabilitation and liner replacement

The Town of Orangeville is undertaking rehabilitation work and replacing the liner at one of our stormwater management facilities on Young Court. This project follows a 2025 report that identified the need for rehabilitation. A consultant was engaged in the fall of 2025, and a subsequent investigation revealed the facility was not operating as intended.

We determined that replacing the liner is essential for the facility to effectively provide water quality treatment. Starting in the summer of 2026, the Town will hire a vendor to execute these tasks to restore and enhance the facility's design.

Project background

• sediment removal to restore facility capacity and improve water quality
• clearing of inlets, outlets and control structure orifices to ensure proper drainage
• geosynthetic liner replacement to restore permanent pool levels

Current project progress

The project is currently in the final stages of design, with work expected to begin in the summer of 2026. 

Next steps

  • consultant secured in fall 2025 to begin detailed investigative work
  • consultant to provide design findings winter 2026
  • tender document to be completed by early spring 2026
  • construction to begin early summer 2026

Water storage standpipe construction

A new standpipe is being built near Town of Orangeville Well 5 to provide continued water service in the area. The project began in the spring of 2024.

Pumping station:

As of January 2026, the pumping station work has been completed and it is ready to go into service.

Project background:

  • excavation for the building foundation started the end of June 2024
  • formwork started the end of June 2024

  • construction of the building continued into the fall, including the roof

  • installation of piping and equipment installed and tested in 2025

Standpipe:

January 2026 update: the standpipe was filled with water in early January and is expected to be fully online and running to the Town's water distribution system by early February.

  • excavation started mid July 2024

  • concrete pour for the base was at the beginning of December

  • the concrete was left to cure over the winter

  • watermain installation to connect the pumping station to the standpipe is almost complete (June 2025)

  • panels for the standpipe have been constructed by the manufacturer, actual installation/assembly will start mid-August 2025(based on the private sector contractor’s availability

  • standpipe was fully constructed and security fencing put up by the end of 2025
  • water quality testing to be completed ahead of coming online

Road Infrastructure Projects

Hansen Boulevard connection

A map indicating the remaining portions of the Hansen Boulevard Connection in the Town of OrangevilleThe alignment of Hansen Boulevard was planned through a municipal class environmental assessment completed through 2006-2007.

The western stretch of Hansen Boulevard, between Blind Line and Veteran’s Way, has been constructed in incremental segments over a 10-year period. Segments were completed as surrounding residential subdivision developments were constructed, by the project developers.

Segments completed to date (February 2024) include: 

  • Eastern segment near Blind Line and Meyer Drive and Mason Street (Plan 7M-42), completed in 2008; 
  • Western segment adjacent to Veteran’s Way and the western leg of Parkinson Crescent (Plan 7M-47), completed in 2012; and 
  • West-central segment near Drew Brown Boulevard and the eastern leg of Parkinson Crescent (Plan 7M-70), completed in 2016. 
  • The road also crosses over a tributary of the Lower Monora Creek. This crossing was designed by the Town and constructed in 2023 in anticipation of the completion of the road. 

The last remaining stretch of Hansen Boulevard falls within future subdivision lands owned by the developer. 

Why was the work not completed before?

  • The developer was unable to proceed with building the subdivision, as it requires the sale of homes within the development to begin. Construction economy and the current challenges in the real estate market have delayed this. Similar delays have occurred in other jurisdictions.
  • The Town cannot build the road itself as the lands are owned by the developer, not the Town.
  • Provisions can be put in place to allow construction to be completed in a timely matter, such as the Town completing approvals. When the developer is ready to move forward, all the steps are in place from the Town’s end for them to proceed.

September 2025 update: work began the week of September 10, 2025 on the next phase of the Hansen Boulevard subdivision by Great Gulf. Internal road construction will eventually include the Hansen Boulevard connection. 

December 2025 update: paving on a portion of Hansen Boulevard, allowing access to the new subdivision for construction vehicles began. This portion of the road is not the full connection, and is not useable by the public, but is the first step towards next phases of the project.

More information will be updated here as available.
