Love My Playground

Playgrounds are an important part of the park experience for residents and visitors. They provide free physical and creative activities for children and their families. Playgrounds are designed to challenge and stimulate all children, regardless of their abilities. Accessible outdoor play spaces allow for all children to play together, increasing understanding and integration.

The City of Burlington maintains more that 130 playgrounds within city parks and on school properties. Over the past two decades, we have focused on improving playground safety and accessibility. The city has an ongoing commitment to ensure that our playgrounds meet or exceed the most current CSA safety standards as well as the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, Design of Public Spaces Standard. The city replaces a number of playgrounds each year.

Playground Replacements 2018-2020

Over the next few years, the city will be replacing a number of playgrounds in parks across the city as shown in the map above. Earlier this year, residents were invited to complete an online survey to give us an idea of the features that people want for their new playgrounds. We received a tremendous response with over 1,000 surveys submitted. This information was very helpful in designing playgrounds to respond to the unique needs and preferences of each community. In the summer 2018, the city selected the vendors to build the playground over the next two years.

To check out the playground design for your local park, see the listing below and hit "see design". All playgrounds include junior and senior structures and swings. Colours may vary.

The City looks forward to delivering high quality, fun and exciting playgrouns in communities across Burlington.
