The City is improving the playground in Frankel Lambert Park 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.

  • Winter/Spring 2025: HydroOne approvals
  • Spring/Summer 2025: Community engagement and detailed design
  • Fall 2025: Hire a construction team and construction starts
  • Late Fall 2025: Construction complete, playground opens

The timeline is subject to change.

Online Survey

Spring/Summer 2025

An online survey will be posted on this page in spring/summer. 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.
