Love My Playground! Survey
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.
