Notice date: July 21, 2025
What’s happening:
We’re replacing the playground equipment at Highview Park, at 17 Highview Place. As part of this project we’re also making improvements to the space around the playground, including:
- an accessible concrete pathway connecting the sidewalk to the play space,
- a new accessible ramp into the playground,
- benches and bike racks along the accessible route, and
- shade trees next to the benches.
Why:
Every year the City’s Park and Trail Development team works on life-cycling playground equipment in City parks throughout Guelph. When the useable lifecycle of a playground has been reached, the equipment is replaced to make sure our parks continue to offer reliable and safe ways for the community to play.
When:
We’ll begin construction on or around August 6, and we expect all work to be completed by October 2025, weather permitting.
Changes during construction:
Playground: The playground area will be fenced off and closed to the public for the duration of the construction period.
