City seeks input on Aberdeen playground concept
A new playground is being planned at Aberdeen
Park and the city wants to hear from you.
The design will be helped by public feedback
from an open house Saturday, Nov. 17 from noon to 4 p.m. at Aberdeen Centre
(4151 Hazelbridge Way). The session will be held on the first floor next to the
BC Lotto Centre.
There will also be an opportunity to speak
with city staff and project landscape architects, as well as view information
boards and a preliminary playground concept plan. You may also complete a
survey.
There’s still opportunities to participate if
you can’t make it out to the session. From Nov. 16 to Dec. 2, those interested
are invited to visit city's website to access project information,
open house materials and complete an online version of the survey.
Information gathered will be used to develop
a playground design to be unveiled in 2019, with the anticipated start of
construction next spring.
Aberdeen Park opened last summer and is the
focal point of the emerging Capstan Village area in Richmond’s City Centre
neighbourhood. It offers rich green space, a vibrant urban square and areas for
public gatherings, community events and arts and cultural activities. The park’s
second phase of development will include a playground, stage canopy, public
washroom and Zhengzhou exchange garden, and is anticipated to be completed in
late 2019.
