Construction underway on accessible playground in Optimist Memorial Park

The City of Windsor has started construction on a new accessible playground in South Walkerville.

A new playground at Optimist Memorial Park will replace the existing equipment and create a more inclusive, accessible, and engaging play space for children.

The $446,000 project includes rubber surfacing, a new concrete sidewalk around the perimeter of the playground, new furnishings, and drainage improvements.

Construction is expected to last until mid-August.

The city asks the public to stay away from the construction site until it is complete.

The project is in addition to the $16.3-million spent to replace 35 playgrounds across the city, and create a new "super playground" at Lanspeary Park.
