A vacant lot on Crestwood Drive in Chilliwack, BC won’t sit empty for much longer. In just a few weeks, this piece of land will be filled with children’s laughter, as a new community playground will be built on site.
The City of Chilliwack, in partnership with Enbridge—an energy infrastructure company which owns the vacant land—will transform the unused site into a playground for children of all ages.
The area around Crestwood Drive has seen significant residential growth in recent years and was identified as needing more accessible green and outdoor recreation space for its residents. This project is part of the city’s Greenspace Plan, which aims to expand and improve access to parks and outdoor recreational facilities across Chilliwack.
“With the help of Enbridge, we are excited to be able to offer the families in the area a new place to play,” said Mayor Ken Popove. “We are proud to partner with Enbridge on this project, as we work together to offer more opportunities for safe and inclusive outdoor play.”
The new playground will include a mix of play features, with slides, climbing structures and a swing. Designed with inclusivity in mind, the playground will be accessible to children of all abilities and will offer a safe, welcoming environment for families to enjoy the outdoors together.
