Online Survey

From February 12 to February 26th, feedback on multiple playground design options was collected in an online survey. The survey received a total of 252 responses.

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

Masaryk Park Playground is located near the splash pad.

The playground currently includes:

  • one swing set with:
    • two swings for ages two to five
    • two swings for ages five and up
  • one small play structure with two medium sized slides
  • one see-saw
  • one merry-go-round
  • 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 safety surfacing
  • new seating

The play equipment and pathway connecting to the playground area will comply with the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA). Learn moreĀ aboutĀ 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.
