The proposed improvements include:

• new engineered wood fibre safety surfacing at playground and swings
• new seating at playground/swing areas
• asphalt pathway
• tree planting around playground/swing area

Construction schedule and playground area closure:

Construction of the playground begins in late June and total completion is anticipated to be October, weather pending. The bulk of the site works (removals of old play equipment, installation of concrete curbing and pathway connections) will take place in July.  The new play equipment installation will take place in October.

The park will remain open during construction, however, there will be some minor inconveniences...
