Construction on the Stanley Park playground project on Forest Hill Crescent and Edge Hill Road is scheduled to begin on Monday, June 22 and be completed by mid-to-end-July of this year.
“This announcement comes as welcome news as we begin to look at ways to reopen our public spaces,” said Mayor Mitch Panciuk. “We look forward to the completion of the project and inviting residents to use this new community space once current provincial restrictions have been lifted. In the meantime, I encourage residents to follow along for future updates.” The final design of the playground is available for viewing at: http://www.belleville.ca/images/uploads/Stanley_Park_-_Revised_Playground_Equipment_Colours.pdf
City staff first began the public engagement process for the project last summer when they conducted an online survey to learn what Belleville residents would like to see in the park. There were over 750 responses to the survey and the engagement provided great insight of what the community wanted to see in the park and play structure. The top three proposals were then presented to residents during a Public Information Centre last winter and all information gathered was considered in the final recommendation to Council.
