Update to Playground Construction
The construction of the new playground was completed in the spring of 2024. The playground incorporates a rubber safety surfacing to promote better accessibility for children of all ages and mobilities. The play structure itself is accessible via a transfer station and has a spiral slide and net climber bridge and multiple climbing components. The inclusive multi seat spinner is accessible via the rubber surfacing as is the inclusive swing seat.
This playground replacement project has been partially funded through the Enabling Accessibility Fund contributed by the Government of Canada.
