Playgrounds are an important part of the park experience for residents and visitors. They provide free physical and creative activities for children and their families. Playgrounds are designed to challenge and stimulate all children, regardless of their abilities. Inclusive outdoor play spaces allow for all children to play together, increasing understanding and integration.
The City of Burlington maintains more that 115 playgrounds within City parks and on school properties. Over the past two decades, we have focused on improving playground safety and accessibility. The City has an ongoing commitment to ensure that our playgrounds meet or exceed the most current CSA safety standards as well as the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act - Design of Public Spaces Standard. The City replaces playgrounds that have reached the end of their service life every year.
