I am a golfer, So I personally hope the city never sells Rockway to a developers. City courses are a great way to introduce new players to game from an assortment of demographics. Having said that I get that most people see it as an elitist sport. If the city were to go down the route of reimaging or redeveloping the space. My hope would be for a public park at least the size of victoria park to be included. Most likely running along Schneider's creek, with possibly a new lake feature. Then a 9 hole pitch and putt in the section on the other side of the courtland. I would also hope the city subdivided the property and layed out the street grid prior to selling off sections to developers, avoiding a situation where one developer gets to develop the whole property and determine the street system. If the city was truly forward thinking they would keep a couple parcels of the developable land for the region to develop affordable housing and a future city amenity like an aquarium or a first nations museum.
