Construction at Champlain Park has experienced significant delays and we thank you for your patience.
At this time, the entire park is still closed. Specific areas of the park will be open to the public in the coming weeks. We expect that the playground and pathways will be open for use in February 2022. The baseball diamond will remain closed until at least August 2022.
Work on the ball diamond, additional asphalt, and sodding and seeding will start in Spring 2022 when weather allows.
This project includes:
In 2020 the old swings were removed from Champlain Park because of a safety issue.
Your safety during construction is our priority.
Champlain Park will be closed during construction. Construction fence will be in place to secure the construction site.
There will be no access to M.M. Robinson High School or the HDSB offices through Champlain Park.
Do not enter the construction site at any time.
In 2020, the City conducted a ‘Love My Playground’ survey to get the public's feedback about the types of equipment they'd like to see at local playgrounds when the equipment is replaced in 2020 and 2021. Thank you to everyone who completed the survey, including the many children and caregivers who provided great feedback.
Your input inspired the playground designers when deciding which pieces of play equipment to include in your new playground.
