A new playground is on the way for Trumpeter Glen Park this fall!

The new equipment features play on all sides, so children will enhance their development in all areas, and they will play for longer times. Physical development will be supported by the rich variation of climbing, sliding, and spinning. These all strengthen muscles and build important motor skills such as cross-coordination. The wall climber and climbing pole are especially attractive and fun for children when they are building their climbing skills and strength.

The playground will feature an Engineered Wood Fibre (EWF) play surface for safety and accessibility. A grant application for a Poured-in-Place rubber play surface was not successful.

The City of Courtenay will remove the existing structure in early September 2026. Crews will then begin excavation at the site to prepare it for the new equipment. Installation of the new equipment will then proceed.
