The City of Burlington is renewing the park and playground at Bromley Park, 217 Maureen Court, in Spring 2021.
Proposed Improvements
The proposed improvements include:
- The replacement of existing playground equipment and swings
- The installation of new engineered safety surfacing around the playground and swings
- New playground perimeter curbing and transition curbs for accessibility
- New asphalt pathway through park (Lakeshore Rd to Maureen Crt)
- Installation of additional seating
- Installation of bike racks
- Additional shade tree planting
- Grading and drainage work
The park will remain open during construction, however, there will be some minor inconveniences experienced due to construction activity. The playground area will remain closed and fenced off with signs posted until final 3rd party safety inspection is complete. Thank you in advance for your cooperation during construction.
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 (and previously 2020). Thank you to everyone who completed the survey, including the many children and caregivers who provided great feedback.
Survey results showed the most desired play equipment features for Bromley Park were:
- curved triple slide
- high deck single slide (not avail)
- standard monkey bars
- rock wall
- balance stepping pods
- multi-user swing (not avail, alt. dual swing seat and multi-user spring play)
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 identified above from the survey results will be included as part of the new Bromley Park playground.
