The City of Burlington is renewing the park and playground at Taywood Park (4357 Millcroft Park Dr.) in Spring-Summer 2022.
The proposed improvements include:
- removal of existing playground equipment and safety surfaces
- new playground curb areas
- accessible transition curb-ramps
- new playground equipment and swings - design based on ‘Love My Playground’ survey results
- new engineered wood-fibre safety surfacing at playground and swings
- new seating at playground/swing areas
- repaved pathways at playground
- tree planting around playground/swing area
- new concrete at park entries
- site furnishings to be replaced
The park will remain open during construction, however, there will be some minor disruptions due to construction activity. The playground area will remain closed and fenced off with signs posted until the final safety inspection is complete. Thank you in advance for your cooperation during construction.
Love My Playground! Survey - thank you for your input
In 2021, the City conducted a ‘Love My Playground’ survey to get public feedback about the types of equipment they'd like to see at local playgrounds when the equipment is replaced in 2022. 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 Taywood Park were:
- curved multi-user slide
- rock wall or climbing net
- advanced climber
- elevated bridge
- moving balance beam or multi-user accessible spinner
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 Taywood Park playground.
