Neighbourhood Playground Decision Making - Lions Park Playground

This survey has concluded. Thank you to those who participated.

Calling all neighbours to help us! The City of Brantford is currently seeking feedback from residents to help inform the new playground design for Lions Park Steve Brown Sports Complex at 12 Edge Street. 

Residents can choose from two playground design options, each featuring different equipment and a unique layout. In addition to the playground structures, both park designs include a swing set with an accessible swing and toddler seat, additional seating, accessible paved pathways, and a shade structure. 

The new playground at Lions Park is intended to replace the aged playground equipment located 300-metres away at Brooklyn Park at 49 Charles Street.

Your feedback is very important to us in creating a playground that captures the needs of the community. We would greatly appreciate it if you could take a few moments to tell us what you think through the Playground Survey below before Sunday, February 15, 2026. Thank you in advance for taking the time to get involved.
