White Elm Park Playground

Thank you to everyone who took the time to share their feedback with us about the White Elm park playground. In total, we received 58 survey responses. Additionally, we heard from attendees during our in-person information session on April 4.

Here's what we learned:

• Visitors head to White Elm park at least once a week, and it is enjoyed by people of all ages.
• The most wanted features are slides, climbing amenities and opportunities for interactive play.
• There is also interest in having seesaws/teeter totters, multi-person spinners, inclusionary and accessible amenities, as well as opportunities to include creative and imaginative play.
• Swings were also highly requested, however, this location unfortunately cannot accommodate both a playground structure and swings. Community members are encouraged to visit the nearby Star Flower Park to enjoy the swings.

Next steps

• We will now look for a playground supplier for this project and have them develop two concepts for final selection.
• Once the concepts are available, community members will be invited to vote on their preferred concept.
