Water features, slides and areas for infant and toddler play are the most popular features of visitors to the playground in Moody Park.
That was one of the things the city learned from residents during the community consultation about plans to redevelop the playground and spray park at Moody Park. On Monday, council endorsed a design for the park that includes water features that allow children to manipulate the flow of water through channels, switch gates and weirs, as well as slides, swings and climbing features.
A concept plan shows the use of natural wood materials will connect the play features to the trees that surround the playground.
“I really appreciate the fact that the plans began in August and we very well could have a new park a year later or earlier,” said Coun. Mary Trentadue. “I think that is commendable for a park that does need to be replaced and a community that is probably waiting for it.”
