Guelph residents can choose between two playground designs for each of the five playgrounds that will be replaced in late 2022
NEWS RELEASE
CITY OF GUELPH
***************************
You’re invited to choose between two playground designs for each of the five playgrounds that we’re considering replacing later this year.
We’ve taken your ideas from phase one of engagement, which ran in November 2021, to create the proposed designs for each park.
We’ll use the survey information to choose which playground designs we build. Construction is expected to begin in fall 2022 if weather and supplies permit.
Visit the website to choose the playgrounds.
Managing construction costs
We’re excited to bring your ideas to life as we finalize playground designs. Over the past year, our ability to move capital projects forward has been dependent on product availability and inflationary pressures. We’ll continue to do our best to make sure the playground replacements proceed on schedule. If there are significant changes to the project schedule, or we adjust which playgrounds will be replaced this year, we’ll share the news on our website, Facebook and Twitter, and we’ll email participants subscribed to Have Your Say.
About playground replacements
When we replace playground equipment, we’re not just building a new space to play; we’re working together to build our future. Playground replacements are an investment in a neighborhood’s social well-being and the kids who will grow up with it for the next 18 to 20 years. We consider available budget, maintenance, how the equipment will make the play fun for everyone and comments from our community when designing new space.
