About the project
Construction of the Charles Simmonds Park Renewal is scheduled to begin in July. The existing playground will be replaced with a more natural one that complements the playgrounds in Belgravia and McKernan. The work will also include adding:
- an accessible pathway from the NE corner to the NW corner of the park
- benches and picnic tables
- gazebo
This summer, visit the Pop-up Community Garden in the park’s southeast corner and enjoy watching the plantings grow. A public engagement event will be held in September, date to be announced.
