The playground replacement construction works are planned for the beginning of September 2023. We apologize in advance for any disturbances it may cause.

Thank you to all for your contribution and your comments on the concept plan options for the Gilbey Park play equipment replacement.

Most respondents indicated a preference for the concept plan Option 2. In response to the comments posted to the guestbook through the survey and comments provided by email, please find below the following:

A fireman’s pole can be included in the chosen play equipment option.
The new swing set already includes three swing seats, therefore, one more compared to the current swing that has two swing seats.
The three existing benches are all being replaced with composite wood benches, as per City Standards. One of the benches will be accessible.
The project does not involve the addition of a basketball court and/or key.
The chosen concept will now go to the detailed design stage, with construction anticipated in the fall of 2023 or spring/summer of 2024.

The City of Ottawa is looking for your feedback on two concepts for the new play equipment in Gilbey Park. The existing junior play structure and equipment have surpassed their intended service life. The playground needs upgrading to comply with the City’s accessibility requirements and to respond to the play needs of the neighboring residents.

You can download and review the Concept Plans in the “Documentary Library” (located to the right) which shows the proposed design and more information on the proposed park amenities. Please be aware that the final park plan may differ from the concept being presented as a result of the public consultation responses, technical detailing, supply availability and/or financial constraints.

Both Concept Plans options envision a three places swing including one bird-nest swing. The two options differ in terms of play structure equipment.

Please take the survey below to share your feedback and let us know your priorities. Please note the survey can only be taken once per account.
It looks like you might be referring to Gilbey Park in Ottawa. This park is a lovely spot for a relaxing walk or a family outing. It’s not as well-known as some of the larger parks in Ottawa, but it offers a peaceful environment away from the hustle and bustle of the city1.

Are you planning a visit there soon, or just curious about what it has to offer?
