Mayor's Message
On behalf of King Township Council, welcome to the July edition of the King Bulletin.
Salamander Park survey
King Township is planning on adding a new feature to Salamander Park at 70 Tatton Court in King City. We'd like to know what the community would like to see installed. Please take a minute and complete the one-question survey at our online engagement platform SpeaKING and let us know your choice—a splash pad, a play structure or ball hockey.
The survey will remain open until July 15 and construction will begin later this year.
Sidewalkable Saturday
Join us on Saturday, July 22 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. for Schomberg's Sidewalkable Saturday. Schomberg Main Street businesses are bringing their stores to the sidewalk.

Cold Creek disc golf course grand opening
The Township of King is excited to announce the introduction of an 18-hole disc golf course at Cold Creek Conservation Area. The grand opening will be held on Saturday, July 8 from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The course features a variety of holes ranging from forested to open grass prairies with varying elevation changes. To access, park in the Visitor Centre parking lot and begin the course behind the building. The final hole is located behind the Education Centre.
The Township of King worked collaboratively with the Ontario Disc Golf Association to design the course. In addition, King consulted with the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority to ensure minimal impact on the natural environment.
In 2022, the Township of King received a non-repayable contribution of nearly $100,000 from Central Counties Tourism to support King’s tourism assets and enhance the attractiveness of King as a destination for visitors. This investment was made through the Government of Canada’s Tourism Relief Fund, delivered by the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario (FedDev Ontario). Central Counties Tourism received $8.65 million from FedDev Ontario to help local tourism organizations and businesses safely welcome back visitors, recover from the impacts of the pandemic and prepare for future growth.
A portion of the funding that the Township received supported the installation of the disc golf course at the Cold Creek Conservation Area. This course will help draw new visitors to the area, and local businesses in King will benefit from increased activity at shops and restaurants, as a result.
This Government of Canada investment is helping the Township adapt and recover to bring visitors back and drive economic growth in King.
The course is free to use and is open and available for play. Please be aware that Cold Creek gates are open seven days a week from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Please continue to stay safe, volunteer and shop locally as much as you can.
Sincerely,
Mayor Steve Pellegrini
