O’Connor Park is located on Bala Drive in the west end of Mississauga, ON. in the Sawmill Creek subwatershed, that later flows into the Credit River and Lake Ontario. The primary LID installation completed in the park were [[Bioretention]], [[Bioswales]], [[Permeable pavement]], and [[Infiltration trenches]], running along the soccer fields on site that later drains into the pre-existing small natural [[Wetlands]] and nearby pond.

An Ontario Ministry of Transportation (MTO) carpool parking lot was constructed in 2010 in the community of Beamsville. The site included, four [[Bioretention]] cells to manage stormwater runoff. The site also incorporates a test strip of special [[Permeable pavement]] containing recycled material, referred to as “rubber modified asphalt”. The bioretention cells were installed to add aesthetic value while offering an enhanced level of stormwater management compared to a conventional parking lot. The project received the 2011 Recognition Award from the Environmental Commissioner of Ontario.
