The City of Burlington is renewing the playground at Leighland Park (1200 Leighland Road) in Spring 2020.
The proposed improvements include:
Since the park amenities are currently closed due to the City of Burlington’s COVID-19 emergency procedures, we ask that you continue to respect the closures for the health and safety of your family and neighbours, city employees and contractors working in the park. If emergency measures are lifted during park construction, the playground area will remain closed and fenced off with signs posted. Thank you in advance for your cooperation during construction.
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 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 local playground. Most of the play equipment features identified above from the survey results will be included as part of Leighland Park’s new playground.
