Work begins today on the replacement of the playground at Kinsmen Park.
Starting today, the playground at the popular Kelowna waterfront park will be closed as crews begin demolition and site preparation.
Over the coming months, a new playground will be installed and it is scheduled to reopen just in time for next summer.
“The new play structure will offer ten engaging activities for children aged 18 months to 12 years including a stegosaurus climber, slide, and monkey bars” said Tori Scharff, landscape design technician.
“We know that the Park’s swing set is well loved by the community, so it’ll be preserved.”
According to the City of Kelowna, the new play structure will also include a transfer station to support accessibility for those with mobility devices.
While construction is ongoing, park users are asked to avoid the work area, which will be fenced off until the project is complete.
The tennis court is unaffected by the construction and will remain open until it closes for the winter.
