🚧 Temporary Closure Notice – Stewart Vincent Wolfe Playground Slide 🚧
For the safety of our visitors, the large slide at the Stewart Vincent Wolfe Playground has been temporarily closed.

During a routine playground safety inspection, City staff discovered a crack near the top of the slide, along with several missing bolts. Out of an abundance of caution, the slide has been taken out of service until repairs can be completed.

Staff is currently working to obtain the necessary replacement parts and repair materials. We expect to have more information early next week regarding the repair timeline and when the slide will reopen.

We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to ensure the playground remains a safe place for everyone to enjoy.
