Hemlock Park

Consultation has concluded.

Thank you to everyone who provided their input on the junior play equipment and swing replacement project for Helmock Park. More than 50 percent of participates who completed the survey preferred Option A with the Frog Jump Climber, Wobble Sphere Spinner and accessible sand digger.

A request was made to include wood chips as ground cover. The new play equipment and swings will be installed with Engineered Wood fiber for ground cover. The existing senior play structure will remain in sand as there are no changes to this structure.

The community also inquired if additional equipment such as a fitness circuit and saucer swing could be added to the park. These items were beyond the scope of this project. Councillor King contributed Ward Cash-in-Lieu of Parkland funding to include the installation of an outdoor fitness equipment station as well as a saucer swing in this project.

Construction is anticipated to being Fall 2024, weather and site conditions dependent. Construction completion is anticipated for Spring 2025.
