We appreciate the community’s passion and advocacy regarding the Country Park playground. We understand concerns have been raised, particularly about the play opportunities for younger children.

The new playground structure was installed earlier this year using a combination of City and grant funding. It meets all required safety standards and policies. The primary difference from the previous equipment is that the new structure is designed for children aged 5–12, whereas the old playground also served children aged 2–5.

To address this, we are hosting community engagement sessions to hear directly from residents about what they would like to see added for younger children. During these sessions, we will also present potential replacement pieces designed for children aged 2–5.

Community Engagement Sessions:
1. Tuesday, October 7, 9:00–11:00 AM
2. Thursday, October 9, 3:00–5:00 PM

Your voices are an important part of this process, and your involvement ensures that the playground continues to reflect the needs of our community.
