The new Jumpstart inclusive playground in Vernon is now open.

The facility in Marshall Field Park near Laker’s Clubhouse, is designed to accommodate children of all abilities.

The city partnered with Canadian Tire Jumpstart Charities and local associate Canadian Tire dealer Jack D’Amico on the project.

“Canadian Tire Jumpstart Charities contributed the professionally designed inclusive playground and its rubber safety surfacing,” said an administration report to city council.

The city’s contribution to the project included the site, site preparation, temporary fencing and security during construction, concrete walkways/mini plaza, washroom accessibility upgrades, benches, accessible picnic tables, and inspections.
