Irene Parkette playground maintenance history
This playground structure was manufactured in December 2009 by Belair Recreational Products, in Paris Ontario. Irene Parkette is quite small (on top of the subway lands) but it's been ingeniously designed to have space not only for the new playground equipment but also for new trees and flowerbeds. It's unlikely that there will be funds to maintain the flowerbeds after the first year, but they look very nice now.
No washroom, and no waterplay.
