Roly Bird Park Playground Renewal

The City of Burlington is renewing the park and playground at Roly Bird Park (2203 Industrial St.) in Summer-Fall 2021.

The proposed improvements include:

• Replacement of existing playground equipment and swings
• Installation of new engineered safety surfacing around the playground and swings
• New concrete transition curbs for accessibility into playground areas
• New trees

Construction schedule and playground area closure:

Construction will take place from mid-July to mid-October, weather dependent.

For safety, the playground area of the park will be closed during the construction period.  The area of the closure will be fenced off.  Thank you in advance for your cooperation during construction. 

*due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the production and service delays in the construction industry, this completion date may be affected.

Love My Playground! Survey – thank you for your input

In 2019, 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 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 local playground. Most of the play equipment features from the survey results will be included as part of the new Roly Bird Park playground.
