Background

The District of Oak Bay is undertaking a playground equipment replacement program to update the playgrounds in our Parks system over the next 5+ years. The first two playgrounds to be updated were Windsor and Henderson-Kiwanis Park.

The third playground to be updated is Quimper Park, located on Quimper Street near Harling Point. Through an open request for proposals, the District has selected Swing Time Parks and Playgrounds as the successful bid and the contract was awarded at the July 28, 2025 Regular Council Meeting.

Where we are today

A public survey was recently conducted to gather feedback on the following:

  • The selection of playground equipment for this specific park, and
  • Guiding principles for the replacement of future playgrounds in the District.

The survey closed on Sunday, August 24. Thank you to all who participated, your input is helping shape more inclusive and engaging play spaces in Oak Bay. More information regarding the playground survey results will be shared soon.
