October 2024

On October 30, a pop-up was held at Pam McConnell Aquatic Centre. People could learn about the project and explore play features and equipment possibilities.

Oak Street Park Playground is located at the east side of the park.

The playground currently includes:

  • two toddler swings
  • one spring rider
  • one spiral slide and one double slide
  • a play structure with climbing options
  • 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.
