On June 28, 2023, the BC Housing proposal (tap image below for info) to densify the Rosewood Village site was discussed during a community open house. The proposal involves replacing the 138 Units now on the property with 713 Units (up to 12 storeys with 3 levels of above ground parking). On Oct 19, 2023, the updated BC Housing proposal to densify the Rosewood Village site was discussed during a community open house. Batting Cage Location: On Aug 09, 2023, Richmond Parks and Recreation received a request to extend the Blundell Park batting cage by up to 100 feet (it currently is about 120 feet long with 10 feet between each pair of steel upright supports). The current batting cage is situated so that trees hide most of it from anyone viewing Blundell Park from the west. The batting cage extension would extend past that veil of trees. Six-Fold Increase in People using Blundell Park: Within a few years, BC Housing plans to redevelop Rosewood Village which backs on Blundell Park. The present 136 Units would be replaced with 713 Units (12 storeys with 3 levels of above ground parking). Proposed Location of Batting Cage Extension: The south end of the current batting cage is visible on the left of the first photo below. The grassy area in the images below is where the proposed batting cage extension would be situated. This area would no longer be available to the general public who want to enjoy Blundell Park. If you are studying the BC Housing redevelopment plans as part of a course assignment, prepare for a class discussion by going to redredred.red and following the directions on the class worksheet.
