The City is improving the outdoor playground at Armour Heights Community Centre as part of an ongoing program to enhance playgrounds and play spaces across the city so that everyone can experience the joys and benefits of play for years to come.

  • Fall 2024: Community engagement (online survey)
  • Winter/Spring 2025: Detailed design and hire a construction team
  • Summer/Fall 2025: Construction starts
  • Late Fall 2025: Construction complete, playground re-opens

The timeline is subject to change.

Online Survey

Fall 2024

An online survey will be posted on this page in the fall. The survey will ask for your feedback and preferences on playground options. The design team will use this community feedback to develop the final playground design.

The results of the survey will also be shared on this page.
