The Churchill Meadows Community Centre and Mattamy Sports Park occupy formerly agricultural land adjacent to residential neighourhoods at the City of Mississauga’s western boundary. For its quickly growing and diverse community, the 50-acre park offers a series of leisure, sport, and gathering spaces, including a sheltered walking track, benches, and bike parking around the perimeter of the building, a playground and splash pad, skatepark, basketball courts, sports fields, and trails.

A measured trail loop, with fitness stations and interpretive signage emphasizing the natural heritage and settlement history of the area, weaves through the park. It loosely connects all the park programs and passes by environmental stewardship zones, a protected wetland, and stormwater management pond. This trail also ties into the fabric of the surrounding neighbourhood and an existing trail network, making the park and Centre a vibrant new focal point of this system.

Directional and measured trail loop signage posts are made from black locust, a very strong and exceptionally rot-resistant hardwood. Each post indicates the length of the trail route with colour coordinated paths of travel.
