Leisureplex Playground Replacement

Background

The Leisureplex Playground is located within the Leisureplex Township Park, at 2543 South Grimsby Rd 6, in Smithville. The existing playground features a combined junior and senior play structure with monkey bars, a pull-up bar, a climbing area, a tic-tac-toe game panel, a tube slide, a double slide, a bridge connection, an animal and car stand-alone feature and swing sets, all of which provide the community with a place to play and enjoy the outdoors.

Replacing the playground, located within the Leisureplex Township Park at 2543 South Grimsby Road 6, in Smithville, was approved as a capital project in 2024. A total budget of $160,000 was allotted in the Township’s 2024 budget for this project.

Survey

The survey is now closed. Thank you to everyone who got involved by providing input!

Public engagement will be followed by a Request for Proposal and selection process. Public notice will go out in the fall once the tender is awarded. The Leisureplex Playground replacement is expected to be installed in the Spring/Summer of 2025.

Please note that the Township has also initiated an update to the Recreation & Parks Plan, to reflect the changing needs of the existing Community and to help guide parkland development and recreational activities for future growth. Stay tuned for opportunities to provide your thoughts and questions early this fall.
