Coronation Park Children's Playground Renewal

About this project

Located on the shores of Lake Ontario, Coronation Park is one of Oakville’s premiere, destination parks. The current park features a public washroom facility, concession stand, splash pad, bandshell, outdoor volleyball courts, multiple picnic areas, and parking areas. The park hosts numerous special events every year.

The current children’s playground features two distinct areas:

  • A smaller ‘junior’ playground area, designed for children aged 2-5 years, is about 350 square metres and on the west side of the walkway. This junior play area is approximately 25 years in age and is due for replacement; and
  • A larger ‘senior’ area, designed for children aged 5-12 years, is about 900 square metres and 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.

Coronation Park, while serving the Oakville community, also attracts visitors from across Halton Region and the Greater Toronto Area.

Online survey

The public survey for this important renewal project closed on October 18. Thank you to everyone who completed the survey! Your feedback will improve the park playground structures to ensure we are delivering the amenities our park users are looking for and benefit from. After reviewing the completed survey responses, we will be including a summary of preferred playground components to playground suppliers. This information will be valuable in helping them prepare their designs, and for town staff in making a recommendation of a preferred supplier.

If you have additional questions about the project, email us at service@oakville.ca. Please note Coronation Park Playground in the subject line.
