Playground history (incomplete)

Kitchener Park playground maintenance history

Notes

A small, flat park in a neighbourhood of small one- and two-story houses. At the far end of the neighbourhood, along Midland Agvenue, there are some high rise apartments.

Most of the park is a baseball diamond, with the playground located kitty-corner so that there may be some danger from out-of-bounds baseballs. The playground is two swing sets, a Blue Imp slide and a jiggly bug, in a vast expanse of new deep sand.

On this sunny Sunday afternoon in August, there was no one in the park.
