Municipal playgrounds are easily accessible park spaces, serving the recreational and social needs of homes within an approximate 10 minute walking distance. The City of Greater Sudbury maintains 189 playgrounds in local neighbourhoods and larger community parks.
"Playgrounds add so much quality of life to a neighbourhood and are an important cornerstone to being a healthy community," said Mayor Brian Bigger.
"I encourage residents from across the community to share their thoughts with the City about how these important spaces are used in their neighbourhood and how they can be improved so that we can establish a new standard for all municipal playgrounds."
Staff from Greater Sudbury Leisure Services will travel to 12 playgrounds to gather feedback during neighbourhood huddle open houses. All residents are invited to attend with their children.
