Level of Engagement

This project has been classified as a Consult project based on the International Association for Public Participation Spectrum. This means we collect and consider public feedback on proposed design options to inform the development of a final playground design.

March 2026

Online Survey

From March 9 to March 30, feedback on multiple playground design options was collected in an online survey. The survey received a total of 500 responses.

A summary of the survey feedback will be posted on this page.

Malta Park Playground is located just north of Saint Johns Road.

The playground currently includes:

  • one swing set with two swings for ages two to five
  • one climbing structure with slides
  • monkey bars
  • a spring teeter-totter
  • 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
  • additional seating
  • engineered wood fibre surfacing
  • an accessible pathway 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.
