Glenayr Park reopened to the public in August 2025
The park construction is now complete and the playground is open to enjoy.
This renewal project replaced aging playground equipment and improved accessibility throughout the north area of the park closest to Resolute Crescent. Improvements included:
Installation of new playground equipment which promotes inclusive play, supports physical and social development, and ensures children and caregivers of all abilities can play together.
Engineered wood fibre surfacing for improved safety and accessibility.
Addition of a sand play area to provide sensory play opportunities that support tactile exploration and developmental learning.
Armor stone seat walls for improved amenity space.
Planting of new shade trees to enhance comfort and aesthetics.
Past Community Engagement
Community engagement took place between July 4 -24, 2023 where local residents were invited to complete a survey to share feedback on the playground equipment and to provide general comments on the proposed concept plan. Feedback collected helped inform the selection of the playground equipment.
Planning Background
The Town has four different Park classifications including Town, District, Local and Parkette; all of which serve a different function and contain different park elements and amenities.
A Town Park has major facilities and contains community centres, arenas, swimming pools and lighted athletic fields and is intended to serve the recreational needs of the whole community.
A District Park is designed to serve the recreational needs of a larger neighbourhood or series of neighbourhoods. They are for primarily active recreational uses including lighted athletic fields, playgrounds, courts and parking areas. Various sports user groups rely on District Parks to undertake the various sports programming for youth minor sports across the community.
Local Parks such as Glenayr Park and smaller Parkettes are intended to serve the recreational needs of the immediate neighbourhood for active and passive recreational uses. Local Parks contain sports fields, playgrounds, courts, walkways and in some cases splash pads. Smaller Parkettes normally contain playgrounds, seating areas and walkways.
