Killarney-Glengarry Community Association: New Playground Use

We are so pleased to have the new playground on 29th St SW (south of the Killarney Aquatic Centre) now open to the public.
We thought we would check in with the community to get your initial thoughts on the space, and your feedback on the build process and how involved you felt. This sort of survey will help us with future projects.
Thanks for your feedback!
