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.

Survey results

Thank you to those who participated to help inform the design of the new playground equipment at Lions Park Steve Brown Sports Complex.

We are pleased to be able to share an overview of the survey results below:

  • 72.5% of survey respondents preferred to see the future playground be in bright colours like yellow, purple, pink, teal, orange, blue etc.
  • 64.8% of survey respondents preferred Option 1: Traditional Playground Equipment for the final design. This design features a classic platform-based play structure with slides, climbers, fun activity panels, and a two-bay swing set with an accessible swing and toddler seat. Additional play features included a wiggly worm climbing pole, calypso drums set, museum activity panel, mogul and roller slides, throughway panel, circles climber, "S" ladder climber and spinner.

In addition to the new playground equipment, the updated park will include a shade shelter, additional seating, accessible paved pathways and new tree plantings.

Construction is expected to begin this summer and be completed by Fall 2026.

    Great question! Thanks for reaching out. Lion's Park playground is intended for those aged 2 to 12. Features have been added that provide suitable play for younger children aged 2 to 5 and older children aged 6 to 12. This can be seen in both playground designs through features such as varying swing seats, activity panels, the beam jump, ten spin and the end ladder. 

    Kind Regards,

    The Project Team

    We like option 2, but could a slide be added to the design?

    Hi there, thanks for your question. Adding a slide to option 2 would require the removal of an equivalent piece of equipment to accommodate the available space and budget. The team will take the suggestion into consideration as the design moves forward. Thank you.
