Playground reopens with new fun activities for kids
Engagement outcomes
In April and May 2023, we sought your feedback on the concept plan and heard from 51 community members. You expressed a strong preference for a high-quality playground with engaging and dynamic play experiences and increased seating options.
We also received requests for a larger-scale upgrade. However, the current playground renewal is shaped by existing size, height, and budget constraints. Your valuable input will help inform future planning decisions, including the planned renewal of the larger playground at James Meehan Reserve.
Learn how your feedback helped refine some of the design elements in the Community Engagement Report.
