The playground at Jim Lorimer Park is being upgraded and rebuilt at a higher elevation to protect the play structures from rising water at nearby Still Creek. The new playground will feature a big play tower, a variety of swings and spinners, a dedicated toddler play area, inclusive play features and colourful rubber surfacing. Additional park improvements include a shade structure, more seating, accessible paved paths, a drinking fountain and misting post and new shade trees. Park construction will take place over fall/winter 2025, with the playground opening in spring 2026.
What's happening now?
Construction started in October 2025. Site preparation was followed by geotechnical and drainage improvements, and installation of play structures. Final site improvements are in progress, and project completion anticipated by end of June.
