About
For more than 25 years, the playground at Hanna Park has brought generations of families together to climb, explore, play and make memories.
After more than two decades of well-loved use, the existing playground has reached the end of its expected service life. Independent inspections and expert review found that replacement is the most practical and reliable long-term approach to address current safety, accessibility and ongoing maintenance needs.
Over the past year, the Township has worked with the community to plan what comes next, with a focus on carrying forward the character and play value people love about Hanna Park while creating a safe, accessible and welcoming playground for future generations.
With the final design now complete and construction approaching, we want to make time to come together as a community, celebrate this special place and get excited about the many new adventures ahead.
Learn more about the project, view the final design (coming Aug. 26) and follow construction updates on the Hanna Park Playground Rehabilitation project page on Engage Muskoka Lakes.
Join us!
Bring your family and friends, enjoy some time on the playground and explore the final design for the new Hanna Park Playground on Friday, September 11 at 4:00 p.m.
Our Manager of Parks, Recreation and Facilities will be there to connect, answer questions and share more about the design, construction and what’s ahead for Hanna Park.
What to expect:
- Time to enjoy the existing playground
- Explore the final playground design and new play features
- Connect with the Parks Manager and members of Council
- Complimentary sweet treats & refreshments
- Remarks and a community photo at 4:45 p.m.
- Learn more about the next steps for construction and the broader vision for Hanna Park
Everyone is welcome. No registration is required.
What Happens Next?
Starting the week of September 14, the playground will be closed until further notice as construction of the new playground gets underway. All other areas of Hanna Park will remain open.
The new playground will open Spring 2027.
Carrying the memories forward: Existing family name pickets will be thoughtfully incorporated into the new playground. If you would prefer to take your family's plaque home, please contact the Township to arrange pickup.
