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 playground to be updated was at Henderson Kiwanis Park.

The second playground to be updated is at Windsor Park located on Currie Road and Transit Road in Oak Bay. Through an open request for proposals, the District has selected Canadian Recreation Solutions as the successful bid.

Where we are today

We are excited to announce that during the Council Meeting on July 8, 2024, a contract was awarded for the replacement of the playground equipment at Windsor Park. This decision followed a survey where design option 2 (pictured right) received the most public support and has been selected for installation.

The removal and excavation of the existing Windsor playground began in September, 2024. We apologize for the delays in opening the Windsor playground. The District is committed to adhering to all Canadian playground safety standards, which has extended the installation timeline. Additionally, unexpected site conditions have contributed to the delays in the initial construction.

We appreciate your understanding as we work to ensure that the new playground is safe and enjoyable for everyone. We look forward to welcoming you to the new Windsor Park Playground, which is now tentatively scheduled to open at the end of January. Thank you for your continued support!
