The new design features an accessible poured-in-place rubber surface, additional inclusive play elements and equipment that meets or exceeds Canadian Safety Standards. Sensory play along with spinning, climbing and interpretive panels will bring children of all ages and abilities into the space. Two areas for children two to five and five to 12, provide developmentally appropriate areas and play opportunities. The existing adjacent play areas, including the swings, rope climbing structure and multi-sensory play area, remain unaltered as they meet current safety standards.

Residents can view the updated design, including an interactive rendering, for the Mission Creek Regional Park playground and share their thoughts online at yoursay.rdco.com until March 13, 2025 at 4 p.m.
