Rummelhardt Park Playground

The construction for the Rummelhardt playground has started! We expect everything to be completed by the end of Fall.

We had to make a small change to the initial concepts and replaced the pilot panel with a butterfly maze panel.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to share their feedback with us about the Rummelhardt park playground. In total, we received over 80 survey responses. Additionally, we heard from attendees during our in-person information session on April 25.

Here's what we learned:

• This park is visited at least once a week or more by people of all ages from the neighbourhood.
• The highly requested amenities to include in the playground replacement were swings, slides, climbing amenities, and opportunities for interactive play.
• Other amenities requested that will be explored for incorporation include monkey bars, multi-person spinners, inclusionary and accessible amenities, as well as opportunities to include creative and imaginative play.

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.
