Parks Canada is proposing to make many changes at Rouge Beach and to construct a boardwalk along either side of the Rouge River to connect Rouge Beach to the Mast Trailhead on the north side of Kingston Road. The formal community consultation period by Parks Canada concluded on May 1, 2021.

Parks Canada previously released the Detailed Impact Assessment for the project which is available for review on the Canadian Impact Assessment Registry.
