Round 1 of Community Engagement Complete

Thank you to everyone who took the time to participate in our recent community engagement activities. Your input, ideas, and perspectives are incredibly valuable and play a critical role in shaping the future of this park! Below is a brief summary of our touchpoints with the community for the first round of outreach:

  • April 5: Leap for Green – project booth
  • April 21 to May 23: Online survey live on Let’s Talk
    • Received 102 responses
  • April 26: MIPA Circus – project booth
  • May 3: Open House at Island Park Elementary
  • May 12 to May 22: Parks Capital team visited 54 classes across four elementary schools—Lakeridge, West Mercer, Island Park, and Northwood
    • More than 1,200 students from kindergarten through fifth grade shared their ideas for the new playground, including voting for play equipment and themes to complement the park’s iconic Kenton’s Dragon. Students also participated in an optional design activity, where they created their own park layouts and highlighted their favorite features.


Design concepts will be shared with the community in July for feedback. Stay tuned for more updates!
