The City is improving the playground in Grandravine Park and moving it closer to the park entrance at 75 Grandravine Dr. The current playground will stay open until the new one is completed. Once the new playground is ready, the old playground area will be re-sodded. These improvements are part of an ongoing city-wide program to ensure playgrounds provide safe and accessible fun for many years.

  • July 2023 to October 2024: Design development and hire a construction team
  • Spring 2025: Construction starts
  • Summer 2025: Construction complete, playground opens at new location and playground closes at old location.

The timeline is subject to change.
