Playground Improvements
Parks Planning Department is preparing to replace playground equipment in Marksam Park. Existing play equipment (swings, slides, climbers, timber edging etc.) in the park will be removed and new playground equipment which meets current Canadian safety standards will be installed as soon as possible after the removals.
Information was gathered by City staff throughout the winter and spring of 2008 to choose appropriate play equipment items. Besides the submitted resident comments, equipment choices for each park also take into account: vandalism records, maintenance requirements, diversification of the neighbourhood’s play equipment options, and maximizing play value.
The work shall be permitted during the following hours:
7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Monday – Friday
9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. on Saturdays
At no time on Sundays and Public Holidays
Please be aware that heavy equipment will be entering and leaving the area. Pedestrian routes around the work area may be obstructed temporarily. Caution should be exercised when using these routes and adult supervision of children passing through this area of the park is strongly recommended.
