"Hi Everyone,
Well we are so happy to announce Vermont Square Park playground is OPEN!
After an enormous push from the excellent crew at Mopal, the fences were strategically organized to section off the yet incomplete rubberized pathway so kids of all ages could come in and enjoy the majority of new playground over the long weekend.
Parks and Rec opened the wading pool yesterday morning anticipating a glorious afternoon opening of the playground.....hours will continue Monday through Saturday 10:00am - 6:00pm.
The excitement was palpable as the kids lined up along the old fence line awaiting the go ahead from the construction team - their bodies poised and tingling for the few minutes it took to resituate the fence until they were given the thumbs up - then they flooded the playground - it was an awesome sight!
A few sections of the fence now remain isolating certain portions of the playground which will be complete next week, or those needing time to cure (the pathway) after the long weekend break. Some minor tweaks will also happen to some play elements, a small section of the fence, and the water pump will be hooked up ASAP.
The Art Bench is slated for installation in July so the temporary fence will remain around this area intended for the bench. Thanks for your patience while this gets installed!
We realize you can't rip around the playground in the cushy and luxurious-feeling sand as you could on the old sand surface, but the SVRA and VSPRC really hope the beautiful new playground brings much joy and affords many wonderful adventures and memories as the old playground did for so many and for so long!
A HUGE thanks goes to Plant Architect Inc., to Bob Duguid ( Toronto Parks Landscape Architect and project planner) who pulled some serious rabbits out of his hat to ensure the park opened on time, and to Mopal Construction Ltd for such an excellent job getting the job done! The SVRA and VSPRC would also like to thank Councillor Vaughan and his staff for their continual support and for providing the funds to allow this to happen!
The Seaton Village Residents' Association website will be updated ASAP www.seatonvillage.ca - I'm going to take a much needed break now though first!
Have an awesome LONG Pride and Canada day weekend :)
