Playground reopens with new fun activities for kids

Michaela Howie Playground was in need of an upgrade. We set out to revitalise the playground within its existing footprint, to provide a fun and challenging play space for children.

We asked for your feedback in our April-May 2023 consultation, and 51 people shared their thoughts. Based on what you suggested, we added a beach-inspired look to the design, included more fun play options, and added extra seating into the final plan.

The playground has everything essential to put a smile on young children’s faces including two new swing sets (standard and toddler seat), two new play structures with a slide, platform, climbing frames and fireman's pole.
