Join the Regional District of Central Okanagan as it unveils an updated design for new playground equipment at Mission Creek Regional Park. The updated design ensures an inclusive and accessible play space for users of all abilities between the ages of two and 12.

The well-loved wood play structure at Mission Creek Regional Park was originally installed in 1997 and is ready for replacement. New equipment will replace the aging structure and conform to current safety requirements.

The new design features an accessible poured-in-place rubber surface, additional inclusive play elements and equipment that meets or exceeds Canadian Safety Standards. Sensory play along with spinning, climbing and interpretive panels will bring children of all ages and abilities into the space. Two areas for children two to five and five to 12, provide developmentally appropriate areas and play opportunities. The existing adjacent play areas, including the swings, rope climbing structure and multi-sensory play area, remain unaltered as they meet current safety standards.
