Another “destination” playground could be coming to Richmond after city council approved a public consultation and design process for Steveston Park.
The Steveston Community Society will front $25,000 to match the City of Richmond’s contribution to pay for the consultation, according to a report from the parks department.
The playground was last updated in 2003 at a cost of $636,000 and it’s believed a new playground would cost $1 million, similar to the new ones at Terra Nova and Garden City parks.
The playground is presently undergoing small renovations on the hillside.
The most recent features included upgrades to have unique areas for different ages (train, boardwalk, climbing apparatus etc.).
So, does Steveston need a new playground? Join the conversation at Facebook.com/RichmondNews.
