The St. Vincent Park playground was replaced with new accessible play equipment (junior and senior structures), a wheelchair-accessible swing, a water exploratory table, and a nature play circuit.

Two stages of public engagement were completed as of February 27, 2022. Based on public input, the consultant for the project designed a preferred concept for the playground.

Upgrades to the site included paved pathways, lighting, and seating areas, as well as natural landscaping with the following natural plantings and pollinator plants:

  • Coreopsis
  • Purple Coneflower
  • Black Eyed Susan
  • Dense Blazing Star
  • Wild Bergamont
  • Blue Grama
  • Little Bluestem
