OPEN HOUSE NOTICE WATERLOO PARK CIRCUIT Join the conversation! Waterloo Park Circuit The City of Waterloo is working on the Waterloo Park Circuit project to design and build a new interior walkway in the west side of Waterloo Park. The Park Circuit will link key areas of the park, connect the east and west sides of the park, and improve access to natural areas in the park. The first phase will include upgrades to the Bauer Lot and a new pedestrian bridge. We want to hear from you! Please join us for an Open House on Thursday June 9th between 4 and 8 p.m. (drop-in) at the Harvest Tables in Waterloo Park to view the draft designs for the Park Circuit, learn more about the project and ask questions. Details The Harvest Tables are located on the west side of the park near the Waterloo Skate Park at 100 Father David Bauer Drive. Parking is available on Father David Bauer Drive and in the Bauer Lot (after 5 p.m.). In case of rain, the Open House will be relocated to the Waterloo Memorial Recreation Complex (Room 200) on the same date and time.

The playground by the Eby Farm in Wa- terloo Park is being overhauled this year to create a fully accessible "universal play- ground" concept. JUST THE FACTS • The current playground is aging and does not meet the needs of all visitors to the park. • The city applied to the Ontario Trilli- um Foundation's Community Building Fund last fall and learned in January that a $380,000 grant was approved to help up- grade the play area with an accessible rub- berized surface, which will be the first of its kind in the city. • Project timelines are tight because the grant requires the project to be completed within a year and the installation of rub- berized playground surfacing is limited to dry, warm weather. Tendering for con- struction will be done shortly and work will start as soon as feasible. • The new playground would be located adjacent to the existing playground that's slated to remain and would be linked by a hard-surface pathway, according to draw- ings. Some elements of the existing play- ground are planned to stay but will be closed off during construction. • A consultant was already hired to cre- ate the design, which includes shade struc- tures, benches, rubber and artificial turf hills with climbers, a multilevel play struc- ture, playhouse, accessible spinner, farm animal play sculptures, butterfly shade structures and relocating the existing pig sculptures to a new sand pit. • More info and the comment forum can be found at engagewr.ca.
