New playground equipment part of facelift at Burlington park

Upgrades to a Burlington park will see it closed off for up to two months.

The work will be carried out at Bridgeview Park on Norwood Ave. beginning in September with major work centring on the replacement of the playground equipment.

Other upgrades include:

• Drainage and grading improvements
• Installation of engineered wood fibre surfacing
• New concrete transition curbs for accessibility into playground areas
• Path improvements
• Removal of existing ball diamond backstop and footings (restoration with sod)
• Clearing/grubbing at the existing maintenance building
• Memorial bench re-installation on new pad
• New site furniture

The timing of the project has been slightly delayed to accommodate the delivery of the new equipment and to keep the park open during the summer months. Once work begins, it is expected to take about two months to complete.

The park will be closed and fenced off during the construction period.
