It is one of our nice parks that is being made even better for residents.

An online survey of Tom Riley Park has been extended one week to August 30 at midnight.

The City of Toronto is improving the playground at Tom Riley Park and is seeking your input to make sure the improvements meet the needs of the community.

City officials say the redesigned playground will include large themed playground equipment, accessible pathways, additional seating and a rubber-like play surface.

It will not include the area around the playground, nor will there be any new water or lighting features.

The City is conducting a online survey to gather feedback from community members at the start of this redesign process. The results from the survey will be used for the creation of three potential playground designs. These design options will be presented to the community for feedback later this year.

The playground at Tom Riley includes: two swing sets with four swings, a medium size slide, junior climbing structure and sand under all play area. It also has a bench and two picnic tables.

The 14.8 hectare park at 4725 Dundas St. W., near Islington Ave., follows Mimico Creek to Bloor St. W. The park features a lit ball diamond, a multipurpose sports field, six senior and five junior tennis courts, a children’s playground and an allotment garden. Located at the south-east end of the park is the Memorial Pool & Health Club and Central Arena.
