• New playground equipment: Junior and Senior play equipment for ages 5-12 years
• New playground safety surfacing with concrete edging
• Site furnishings including benches and accessible tables
• Shade structure
• New asphalt parking lot
• Upgrades to the existing soccer field

With the redeveloped park, the City of Oshawa officially commemorated the completion with a community event to celebrate with members of Council and the local community. Monsignor John Pereyma Catholic Secondary School students were pleased to attend, to connect with representatives from the City of Oshawa, and to demonstrate their commitment to stewardship for creation.
