The City of Kimberley and the Rotary Club of Kimberley have partnered for a major revitalization of the Rotary Park Playground.
The City said the upgrades were made possible through the support of community fundraising efforts.
“Thousands of dollars have been raised to replace aging playground infrastructure with new, accessible, and safety-enhanced equipment that will serve Kimberley families for years to come,” said the City.
Construction is set to begin on July 2, and the playground area will be closed during construction.
“This project is a testament to the power of community,” said Sandra Roberts, spokesperson for the Rotary Club of Kimberley.
“The Rotary Club is incredibly proud to invest in a space that brings joy, activity, and connection to local families. We invite everyone to take this opportunity to discover all the amazing outdoor amenities Kimberley has to offer.”
The City of Kimberley said it will keep the public up to date throughout the project and will announce when the upgraded playground is ready to be unveiled, however, there are many other local amenities to enjoy in the meantime.
“While the playground is under construction, the splash park, public washrooms, and ball field at Rotary Park will remain open,” said the City.
“Families are also encouraged to explore the many other fantastic playgrounds and outdoor spaces throughout Kimberley, including those in Marysville, Townsite, local schools, and the new adventure park on Swan Avenue.”
