“Our playgrounds are getting to end of life, many of them. So, Memorial Park, we have a whole master plan to redevelop this playground and this whole park,” said Malar.
“The big priority for council was to get this playground redone and so we are excited that it all went through.” The upgrades will include elements of STEM which will be incorporated through sensory panels, kinetic flags, a puzzle, technology through kid-powered and solar-powered energy, and more.“One of the features that is very unique to Canada is called the Mighty Descent and that’s that slide that many people can go down at the same time. And the way you come off is very unique, it allows all different abilities on it,” said Malar.
