The City is improving the playground in Highland Heights 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.

  • Fall 2024: Design development
  • January 2025: Community engagement (online survey)
  • Winter to Spring 2025: Detailed design and hire a construction team
  • Summer/Fall 2025: Construction starts, playground closes
  • Winter 2025: Construction complete, playground reopens

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.
