Coronation Park Children's Playground Renewal

About this project

Coronation Park is located on the shores of Lake Ontario, and one of Oakville’s premier destination parks, serving the Oakville community, and attracts visitors from across Halton Region and the Greater Toronto Area. 

The current park features a public washroom facility, concession stand, splash pad, bandshell, outdoor volleyball courts, multiple picnic areas, and parking areas making it an ideal park that hosts numerous special events every year.  

The children’s playground features two distinct areas:

  • A smaller ‘junior’ playground area, designed for children aged 2-5 years, is about 350 square metres on the west side of the walkway. This junior play area is approximately 25 years in age and is due for replacement
  • A larger ‘senior’ area, designed for children aged 5-12 years, is about 900 square metres on the east side of the walkway and immediately north of the washroom/concession building, and nearby splash pad. The senior play area is approximately 21 years in age and is also due for replacement

The playground renewal will be constructed in two phases. The first phase involves site works to prepare the site for the installation of the rubberized surfacing and the play equipment. This includes demolition, removals, grading the walkways, playground and surrounding area, installing granular/drainage base material, installing flush curbing, and pouring concrete walkways. The second phase is when the rubberized surfacing will be poured and play equipment will be installed.

Online survey

Thank you to everyone who completed the survey! Your feedback was integrated into the procurement of playground equipment and surfacing which is invaluable to creating a premier accessible playground that delivers amenities our community is looking for!

Public consultation

Through the procurement process, we have selected a playground equipment/surfacing supplier for the implementation of Children’s Playground at Coronation Park.   

As we had promised, now that we have a supplier, we would like to solicit your feedback on the proposed playground design. The objective is to fine tune the design to make sure your needs are addressed while meeting the project budget. Afterwards, we will come back once more to present the final design, and then order the equipment for installation this Spring 2025.   

Stay tuned for the location, date, and time of the Public Engagement Meeting.
