Crossing Bridge Park – playground replacement

The City of Ottawa is seeking input on concept plans prepared for the lifecycle replacement of the playground equipment in Crossing Bridge Park.

According to the Strategic Asset Management Plan (2017), the Ageing Assets Strategy states that “to maintain levels of service over time and to remain sustainable, not all assets should or can be replaced before reaching the end of their expected service life.”

Therefore, the scope of the current lifecycle replacement project is specific to; a pathway replacement from the west park entrance to the play structure, a new park sign, a sand play area, and replacement of the play structure and swings. Engineered wood fiber is proposed as the protective surfacing material for the playground to meet accessibility requirements.

Two different concept plans with images of the proposed playground equipment options are located in the Document Library on this page. Residents are invited to complete the survey and provide comments on the play equipment options.

A summary of public comments and the preferred option will be posted to this website upon completion of the public consultation.

Construction to commence 2024, pending budget approval.
