Maryland Playground Committee Needed

Good day Dentonia Park Community!

Well our Summer holidays may be coming to an end but our fun will keep on going with the eagerly anticipated revitalization of our very own Maryland Park playground. A big thank you to all of our neighbours for their thoughtful and creative comments and suggestions for this new playground.

So what does our community want from this playground? Well the buzz is all about imaginative play, inter-generational play and natural play all in a very unique setting. We expected nothing less from a neighbourhood expressing the very same attributes. No, a cookie-cutter playground won't do here and let's make sure we incorporate sun shade.

If we want to realize our playground ambitions we need to organize our creative ideas for the impending community consultation meeting with our City Councillor. So here's calling on all volunteers to form a committee for the Playground Revitalization of Maryland Park (PROMP). As an added bonus for volunteering you will get an opportunity to choose a better name for this committee!

Have a great weekend Dentonia Park Community and as always we would love to hear from you. Leave a comment or send us a note at dentoniaparkcommunity@gmail.com

Maryland Park Playground Revitalization

Good day Dentonia Park Community and good work neighbours! Our voices have been heard and it looks like our little playground in Maryland Park will be getting a complete overhaul in the near future. Councillor Davis has kindly sent a note to our little blog to tell us about the newly secured funds for this playground's replacement. On July 31st, Councillor Davis wrote:

Hi Dentonia Park People,
I'm happy to let you know that I was able to get a playground replacement allocation in the City parks budget for 2013/14.  We will have a community consultation about the improvements you'd like to see.  I look forward to meeting with you to talk about the playground and how we can animate our wonderful green spaces.  Thanks again!
