Kingsmere Park Swing Replacement Project

As part of the City’s ongoing efforts to maintain safe and accessible play spaces, we are moving forward with the installation of new, compliant swing sets in the park.

During the public consultation, Concept 3 received the highest number of votes. We also received several comments requesting additional seating. In response to this feedback, the final design will include one additional bench.

The existing swings—original to the park—were not replaced during the previous play structure renewal. This project will introduce new, modern, and accessible swing options to better serve the community.

You can view the selected concept and proposed swing components by downloading the materials available in the Document Library (right-hand panel).

The design complies with the City of Ottawa’s Accessibility Design Standards and will include new engineered wood fibre safety surfacing.

Project Timeline

• Design: 2025
• Construction: Spring start with completion targeted for fall / early winter 2026
  (The exact construction schedule will be confirmed once tendering is complete.)

Please note that this project is part of the City’s Lifecycle Replacement Program. The scope and budget have been approved by Council and are limited to the swing replacement and associated site works. Other park features will not be upgraded as part of this project.

Thank you for your continued interest in this project.
