In 2023, we launched our 2nd phase of Ivy Rouge in North Oakville. Since that sold out launch, the surrounding community has seen major growth, including a new school, sports complex, and bus route.
The new Sixteen Mile Sports Park near Dundas and Neyagawa includes five fields, a pump track for biking, a skate park, and a splash pad. In 2024, St. Cecilia Catholic Elementary School was opened near Dundas and Trafalgar, and a new bus route was added to connect the area to the Uptown Core.
These recent changes are just the beginning. Let’s break down the key ways that North Oakville will be changing in the coming years.

One of the most notable new additions to North Oakville is The Sixteen Mile Community Centre and Library. This new community centre will be an extension of the existing Sixteen Mile Sports Complex. This 65,000+ sq. ft. building will house a pool, a multi-use community space, and several gymnasiums. The library will offer 18,000 sq. ft. of work, study, and collaborative spaces, including public computer access, free Wi-Fi, and creative equipment.
North Oakville will also see a number of schools added to the area in the next few years. A new French immersion school is set to open this fall, ranging from Junior Kindergarten to Grade 8. It will be located near Dundas and Trafalgar and will service the White Oaks area.
There are also plans for a new high school at Sixth Line and Burnhamthorpe Road West. This three-storey building will be the first high school in North Oakville and will span 144,000 square feet, with 53 classrooms, 18 portables and capacity for around 1,200 students.

The North Oakville area is also going to see new paths, trails, and parks. This will include improvements to the Crosstown Trail. The existing gravel path will be transformed into a four-metre-wide asphalt multi-use trail, with benches, bike parking, and crosswalks. It is scheduled to be completed around the summer of 2025.
Along with the Crosstown Trail, the city also has big plans for developing green space in the area. Along with the sprawling Glenorchy Conservation Area, Ivy Rouge will be surrounded by parks, parkettes, and a nearby trail.
