Design Our Parks

The Town of Caledon provides accessible and sustainable parks, recreation spaces and cultural services for everyone. This project page will be used to get your input on what you would like to see in your parks. This includes the design of new parks, replacements and upgrades to existing parks (i.e. playground equipment, splash pads, washroom buildings, etc.), and other future park planning projects.

Parks are important for establishing and maintaining the quality of life of Caledon residents, the identity of the community, and fostering healthy lifestyles, environments. Whether you are a casual park user, someone that frequents parks to unwind and play, or is just interested in the future of Caledon parks, we want to hear from you!

Playground Improvements – 2025

Background Info:

We want to hear from you! The Town of Caledon is replacing playground equipment in several parks, per budget approved by Council. Improvements are proposed at the following parks:

• Adam Wallace Memorial Park (Playground & Splash Pad) - 128 Cedargrove Road (Ward 5)
• Lions Park – 12 Holmes Drive (Ward 4)
  
• Montrose Farm Park – 1 Castelli Court (Ward 6)
• Newhouse Park - 16 Cliffview Court (Ward 2)
• R.W. Moffatt Park - 17 Goodfellow Crescent (Ward 6)
• R.J.A. Potts Park (Playground & Splash Pad) – 125 Pembrooke Street (Ward 5)
• Whitbread Park – 27 Whitbread Avenue (Ward 5)

We are looking for community participation to provide feedback and insight about each park. Your input will help guide us to plan the right play equipment for your neighbourhood. Some of the considerations that are included through the design process includes budget, maintenance requirements, inclusivity and making the play equipment fun for a wide range of abilities, as well as specific comments from community members.

Neighbourhood park playground equipment is typically installed with engineered wood fibre safety surfacing. Individual play equipment is suitable for ages 2-5 and/or ages 5-12 and is built to meet the Canadian Standards Association (CSA) criteria for safety and accessibility.

Complete the surveys below and share your feedback!

Playground replacements could include:

Replacement of play features may include various climbing structures, swings, slides, and updates to colour schemes and themes of the playground. Other improvements may also be considered such as replacement of existing playground surfacing, new or reconfigured pathway connections and site furniture such as benches and trash receptacles.

Playground replacements do not include:

Playground replacements typically do not include material changes to existing playground surfacing, building new splashpads, and other large amenities or features. These amenities are not a part of neighbourhood park replacement projects at this time (Learn more about why here).

How does the neighbourhood replacement program work?

The Town regularly inspects existing playgrounds and identifies those in need of replacement and then prioritizes based on condition and safety metrics. High priority parks are then approved for replacement through the annual budget process.

For more information, refer to the Budget page on the Town of Caledon's website. Neighbourhood parks are considered in the Capital Budget section for each year.
