Playground Replacements & Restorations
Update on Playground Replacements - September 14, 2021
Exciting news! New Playgrounds are coming to Little Lake Park East, Bayview Park and Pete Pettersen Park in Spring 2022!
The tender process for the new playground equipment is complete. Public consultation through Engaging Midland was extremely valuable and a significant amount of data was received with residents providing excellent feedback. This helped guide the Request for Proposal process in a manner that aligned with the goals and priorities of Midland residents and will continue to do so in future playground replacement projects.
- Little Lake Park East and Bayview Park playgrounds have been awarded to Play Power Canada.
- Pete Pettersen Park playground has been awarded to Openspace Solutions Inc.
The available budget did not allow for a contract to be awarded for Tiffin Park, and it will be part of a future round of playground replacements.
All three new playground installations are scheduled to begin in Spring 2022.
