new obstacle course equipment geared toward teens and adults
new swings with 10 foot top bar for higher swinging
ground-level equipment for all ages
protective safety surface material will be rubber for increased accessibility
updated basketball court surface
The other park amenities will remain open during construction; however, there could be some minor inconveniences due to construction activity. The playground area will remain closed and fenced off with signs posted until final third-party CSA safety inspection is complete. Thank you in advance for your cooperation during construction.
