Windermere Village Playground

A keen group of community builders from the Windermere area has launched a fundraising campaign with a goal of raising a total of $75,000, with the Township contributing the remaining costs for this project. To date, the community has raised almost $10,000, which means, $65,000 to go!

Starting in May of 2025, we reached out to the community for input on the proposed elements for the Windermere Park playground. We received some great feedback, and with all suggestions being taken into account, the images below represent the playground that we will see come to life at Windermere Park in the coming months!

Some of the upgrades included:

• Swing structure to match the earthscape wood play structure
• Larger slide to accommodate more ages
• Larger climbing structure to accommodate more ages
• Inclusive elements (accessible grand cover, reach ranges, etc.)
