CPA Projects – Detailed Report

This project proposes to appropriate $70,000 from the Open Space and Recreation Reserve Account for design services for restoration of the playground at Edgemere Park as well as a town wide assessment of the nine (9) Town parks and six (6) school parks.   Many of the playgrounds were built as part of subdivision construction or fundraising done by school PTO groups. The majority of the playgrounds do not have accessible surfaces or modern safety surfaces. The playgrounds  do get a lot of use and are typically 15 to 30 plus years old. Play for children is essential for their development of social and motor skills. Designing a new playground at Edgemere Park will align with the Parks Division goals for continuing to improve recreation areas for our community.
