Has RIM Park given anything a jumpstart, though? If this is located in the middle of nowhere, I doubt it will contribute much to any of the somewheres via which you might get to it.
This, like the original placement of Conestoga College itself, is all about minimizing cost.
I'm not sure about a jump start, but 15 years after it's initial opening, the City has grown around it. The Park was an opportunity to create a large green space first without negotiating with developers for scraps from their parcels.
