New legislation by the Region of Queens Municipality will keep big business away from the Liverpool waterfront.
Land on the north side of Henry Hensey Drive from Mill Brook, to the west side of the new tourist bureau, is now a designated greenspace.
Mayor Jon Leefe says the designation will help citizens protect the space from commercial development.
He says after public consultation, the by-law may be amended to allow for a farmers market on the property.
The recreational designation excludes the Privateer Landings Condos.
