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

In this phase, the City and its design consultant will use the outcomes of Community Engagement Phase 1 to develop design options for the playground and park improvements. These options will be presented to the community for feedback, which will be used to develop a preferred design.
