Inclusive Playground at McPherson Park - Have Your Say, Fill Out the Survey
Take a look at what’s coming to MacPherson Park The updated concept design for the MacPherson Park Inclusive Playground is now available, and we’re sharing the detailed illustrations for the first time. Thanks to feedback from the community, the Accessibility Advisory Committee, and project partners, the design has been refined and is one step closer to construction. Before it’s finalized, we’re inviting residents to take a quick survey and share final thoughts on the design, shade options, and surrounding park features. Please note, the new playground surfacing will be 100% poured-in-place rubber for accessibility. Check out the concept drawings and complete the survey on our project page: https://www.kincardine.ca/Macpherson-park
