July 27, 2023 — Press release from the City of Burlington
The City of Burlington is getting ready to renew the playgrounds at Nelson Park and Millcroft Park. To get started, the city is looking for neighbourhood and city-wide input on the types of playground equipment residents would like to see in the two parks.
Online surveys for both parks are open at getinvolvedburlington.ca/yourparks until Sept. 1.
Each member of the household is encouraged to submit their own survey.
City staff will be collecting feedback at 8 p.m. in Nelson Park on Aug. 6 for Movies in the Park with Councillor Stolte before the movie begins at approximately 9 p.m. The movie playing will be Turning Red.
City staff will be at a Park Pop-up at Millcroft Park on Aug. 17, from 10 to 11:30 a.m. with Councillor Bentivegna to collect community feedback on the types of playground equipment residents would like.
These playground renewals are a little different than most other playground renewal projects. Nelson Park and Millcroft Parks are destination parks, meaning people from outside of the neighbourhoods travel to use the playground and greenspace. Because of their higher profile, we’re asking for feedback from residents across the city as well as from within the neighbourhoods.
Denise Beard, Manager of Community Development
A final concept will be created with the input gathered from the surveys and in-person feedback opportunities. Construction is expected to begin and be completed in 2024.
