Seven City Parks to Get New Play Structures

Brockville – The City of Brockville has 26 parks with play structures with the 27th soon to be installed in the Stirling Meadows subdivision.

Seven of these parks will see the current play structures replaced with new ones.

In a press release issued earlier this week the city stated, “Over the years, these play structures have deteriorated and become outdated or deemed non-accessible. In 2022 staff began the procurement and capital planning process for seven play structures that were in most need of replacement.”

“Play Ground Planners of Ottawa is the regional contractor/distributor of Little Tykes commercial grade play structures. Staff have reviewed the specifications provided by Play Ground Planners and concluded that the proposal meets or exceeds the specifications set out by staff in the scope of the project so the task was awarded accordingly.” the release continued.

The city says that crews have started removing these seven play structures and will continue to see the removal and replacement of these at two per month over the next few months.

Each of the new play structures will be equipped with a woven wood material packed for a new accessible base for all to enjoy, as we move all of the community play structures away from the sand bases. A $370,000 Parks improvement.

The removal of the John Knox play structure is well underway. George St, Kensington, and Duke will soon be after. John Knox will be the first to be installed with an approximate start date of May 1.

The seven Parks include:

• Duke St. Park
• George St. Park (shown in the photo)
• John Knox Park
• Kensington Park
• Kyle Court Park
• Matthew Fraiser Park
• Sophia St. Park
