Level of Engagement

This project has been classified as a Consult project based on the International Association for Public Participation Spectrum. This means we obtain public feedback on design options for the playground improvements.

Gulliver Park Playground is located near Keele Street and Gulliver Road.

The playground currently includes:

  • three swing sets with:
    • two swings for ages two to five
    • four swings for ages five and up
  • a senior play structure with medium-sized curved slide
  • a junior climbing structure with one small slide and one double slide
  • a set of two stand-alone climbing bars
  • sand 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 seating
  • engineered wood fibre surfacing
  • an accessible pathway/ concrete ramp to the playground area

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.
