Construction is expected to get underway on a new playground at Coquitlam’s Mundy Park later this month.
COVID-19 has delayed the project, which was initially expected to be completed by the end of June, the city said in a press release.
“While other playgrounds around the city have now reopened, Mundy Park will remain closed to prepare for construction set to begin in June and continue into the fall,” the city said in a press release. “The project was initially intended to be completed before summer but was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.”
In the next couple of weeks, crews will remove the old equipment and replace it with dozens of new toys and structures, including a new raised adventure circuit with towers and bridges. The playground will also feature new landscaping and pathways and will be accessible to children with disabilities.
During construction, residents who live near Mundy Park are encouraged to visit Good Neighbour Park (1415 Foster Ave.), Poirier Playground (624 Poirier St.), Rochester Park (1390 Rochester Ave.), Blue Mountain Park (975 King Albert Ave.), Como Lake (700 Gatensbury St.) and Mariner Park (2985 Mariner Way).
