Online Survey

From May 4 to May 18, feedback on multiple playground design options was collected in an online survey. The survey received a total of 141 responses.
A summary of the survey feedback will be posted on this page.

Frankel Lambert Park Playground is in the centre of the park, off Melita Crescent.

The playground currently includes:

  • one swing set with:
    • one swing for ages two to five
    • one swing for ages five and up
  • a small play structure with two slides
  • a net spinner
  • sand and wood chips under all play areas

The playground will be redesigned using community feedback and is proposed to include:

  • playground equipment for ages five to 12
  • new safety surfacing
  • new paving

The play equipment and pathway connecting to the playground area will comply with the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA). Learn more about how playgrounds are made accessible.

Improvements will only be made in the general playground area and will not include any new water or lighting features or improvements to other areas of the park.
