ESTEVAN - The City of Estevan hosted a public engagement session on Sept. 26 to hear from residents about their thoughts on the future of play structures at Churchill Park.
A drop-in event, held at the Affinity Place atrium, provided an opportunity to give feedback on topics such as accessibility, shade and more.
Marketing and communication manager Jacquelyn Massey-Rounds said they were "pleased with the attendance on Tuesday evening, being able to welcome discussion from both drop-in attendance, as well as parents and youth busy using the facility [Affinity Place] that evening."
"During the discussion, we welcomed feedback on the priorities of families in the community in order to assess the importance of elements such as accessibility, shade and age-appropriate equipment, just to name a few," said Massey-Rounds.
"We greatly appreciated everyone that came out and gave their ideas for the Churchill Park play structure," she added.
She noted that they've received a range of feedback but will have a better idea of community input once the online community survey closes and results are reviewed.
The survey is open until Oct. 10. Massey-Rounds said it will help the city see what the community looks forward to having in the Churchill Park space.
This survey can be found at www.surveymonkey.com/r/cityofestevan.
Once the research is completed, the city will proceed with developing particular plans.
Their timeline for the replacement of the play structure would be the summer of 2024.
