The Gathering Circle
The NorWest Community Farm gathering circle at Shaughnessy Park is a welcoming outdoor space designed for people to gather, learn, and connect.
For this project, North Coral helped transform an open grassy area into a durable and inviting community gathering space.
The finished landscape combines hardscaping, natural stone, planting, and pathways to create an area that feels like a natural part of the surrounding park.
Key Features
- Large circular paver gathering area
- Natural boulders incorporated into the landscape
- New trees and planting areas
- Concrete pathway connecting the space
- Grading and base preparation
- Landscape edging, mulch, and site restoration
Before & After
The project began as a simple open section of grass.
Our team excavated and prepared the area before building the base for the new paver surface.
Careful grading and compaction helped create a strong foundation for a space designed to handle regular community use.
The circular paver design gives the area a clear focal point, while large natural boulders and new plantings help soften the hardscape and connect it with the surrounding landscape.
Building the Vision
A finished landscape often hides a lot of the work that goes into creating it.
This project included:
- excavation
- grading
- base preparation
- paver installation
- edging
- planting
- and final site restoration.
Each stage helped turn the original open lawn into a defined outdoor space that could be used for community events and activities.

Finished Project
The best part of this project is seeing the completed space being used.
The finished gathering area provides a comfortable place for community members to meet, participate in programming, and enjoy the outdoors.
Projects like NorWest show how thoughtful landscape construction can turn an underused area into a space people genuinely want to spend time in.
Whether we are working on a Winnipeg backyard, a commercial property, or a larger community space, North Coral Landscaping brings the same attention to planning, materials, and quality construction.
