The Accessible Playground and Shade Features project is from the Village’s 2022/23 – 2024/25 Resort Development Strategy (RDS) utilizing Resort Municipality Initiative (RMI) funding.

Highlights of this project will include:

  • An accessible playground at the beachfront
  • Inclusive play features
  • Communication board
  • Fully wheelchair accessible we-go-round
  • Swings
  • Shade features

The existing 5-12 year old playground will be removed and replaced with new playground equipment. Rubber surfacing will be installed while still including a portion of the playground to have sand to support site maintenance by Village staff. A shade feature will be added above the existing tots beach playground to provide shade until this playground equipment reaches the end of its lifespan. At that time, staff will determine if any further play equipment is required or determine a usage for this covered space. Swings, including a molded bucket swing will be added to the existing grass area beside the tot playground with plans to add rubber surfacing at this location if future funding permits.

Construction work will commence on September 24th, 2024. Contractors will be on site removing the 5-12 year old pirate ship playground which will be replaced with new, inclusive playground equipment and rubber surfacing. The project is expected to be completed in November of 2024.

Several parking stalls on Esplanade Avenue will be blocked off during this time to facilitate construction. Additionally, the paved pathway may see daytime closures. Detours will be available either north of the playground around the beach washrooms or south along Esplanade Avenue. Please refer to the map below:
