The City is improving the playground and adding a skate spot in Woburn Park – Scarborough. The playground improvements are part of an ongoing program to enhance playgrounds and play spaces across the city. The skate spot is part of the Skateboard Strategy, aimed at serving local youth skateboarders, particularly those at the beginner and intermediate levels. The skate spot will include select features such as ledges and railings, strategically placed to provide an introductory yet engaging skateboarding experience.
The timeline is subject to change.
An online survey will be posted on this page in September. The survey will ask for your feedback and preferences on playground and skate options. The design team will use this community feedback to develop the final playground and skate spot design.
The results of the survey will also be shared on this page.
