St. Andrew's Playground Preferred Concept Plan...KOMPAN FSC License No. FSC-C004450 / The mark of responsible forestry Balance Net-Crawling for small children-Sitting and resting spot

The key objective of St. Andrew’s Playground Improvements is to develop a comprehensive conceptual design for the park that meets the current and future needs of the community, and lead the design process through to implementation of the park revitalization plan. The project will build on consultation done to date by the City, and seek engagement from residents and stakeholders to provide input on how best to address the goals of the City and the needs of the community.

To complement the many changes occurring in the King Spadina neighbourhood, St. Andrew’s Playground park will undergo a revitalization and expansion that will provide updated amenities, improved programming and better connectivity to the surrounding area.
