What is happening

The timber playground at the Olympic Oval Riverside Plaza was originally constructed in 2015 as a nature play environment featuring large timber play elements and structures. Over time, weather exposure and heavy use has resulted in significant deterioration of some playground components. To ensure the playground remains safe, functional and enjoyable for years to come, certain elements may require major repair or full replacement.

We want your input

As part of the City’s Timber Playground Renewal Program, we are seeking feedback on the existing playground and ideas for its future renewal. The program aims to preserve opportunities for nature-based and adventurous play while considering durable materials and improved long-term performance where appropriate.

As part of the planning process, we are committed to gathering feedback from area residents and other stakeholders. Potential improvements may include renewed play opportunities, youth-focused recreation features, seating and gathering spaces, fitness elements or other park amenities.

Construction is slated to begin in 2027.
