We’re thrilled to announce the installation of adaptive swings in two of our beloved parks!

Town Centre Park now features:
1 adaptive swing for ages 2-5
1 adaptive swing for ages 5-12

Joe Curry Memorial Park now has:
1 adaptive swing for ages 2-5

A heartfelt THANK YOU to the Town Council for their support in making this project possible! We’d also like to recognize Jonathan and Dameon from our Public Works crew for their hard work in installing these swings today.

These adaptive swings reflect our ongoing dedication to fostering inclusive play spaces for all children, regardless of ability. Every child deserves the joy and freedom of play, and we’re proud to take another step toward making our parks welcoming for everyone.

Come out and enjoy these new additions—we can’t wait to see the smiles!

The Emerson Gravatt Dog Library, located in Scottie’s Yard, is stocked with toys kindly donated by the Gravatt family. These toys are for everyone to enjoy while visiting the park.

But here’s a gentle reminder: Play, Have Fun, Return! The toys placed in the library last week have gone missing. Let’s all do our part by returning them after use so every pup can enjoy their playtime.

Thank you for helping us keep Scottie’s Yard a happy place for all our furry friends and their humans!
