The Town of Collingwood’s Parks, Recreation, and Culture Department has been working on completing a new playground facility at Sunset Point Park.

Thank you to Residents and Park Users who provided feedback in our March 2019 survey as well as community organizations such as the Children’s Treatment Network for their advice and support. This feedback has helped greatly in guiding the process of developing a new design for the playground area.

The current 2.33 hectare playground at Sunset Point Park, known as EnviroPark, was constructed in 1993. The playground was originally built out of wood and concrete, and designed around the theme of water protection and the environment. Park features, including the sand surfacing, do not meet current accessibility standards. After more than 26 years of community use, this playground now requires replacement.

The playground re-build will revitalize the park environment, creating an inclusive and accessible area for active play, and supporting healthy development for children across the community. The playground will also address the 7 Modes of Play that were the subject of our public engagement sessions.

A special thank you to EPCOR for their contribution and support of the “Firefly Forest”, LED lighting, and USB Charging Stations to be implemented within the playground area.
