Public Engagement: Rutti Park Implementation Plan

Rutti Park is a neighbourhood park in south Ladysmith at the end of Rothdale Road, off Russell Road. It features an open green space and pedestrian connection.

The Town of Ladysmith is engaging with residents to identify opportunities for improving the park. We also want to know what's currently missing so we can create an inclusive park space that meets your needs.
