Pioneer Park is one of the largest parks in Little Canada. Developed in 1991, the community park is being redesigned in hopes of better serving the wants and needs of the community.

Through focused improvements, the purpose of the Pioneer Park redesign is to make the park more welcoming to the community.

The focused improvements are 

-Enhanced playground
