We have a regular programme of playground upgrades and renewals across the city so our smallest residents have plenty of safe, fun and up-to-date play spaces.
We are replacing or upgrading several playgrounds across Hamilton.
Glenview Park: An upgrade to create a larger playground with more play equipment, bins, a drinking fountain, a half basketball court and seating. Construction will start in January 2021 and take approximately four months.

Hayes Paddock, Hamilton East: A basic neighbourhood playground replacement. Construction will start in February 2021 and take approximately three months. The updated playground will include swings, a slide, a climbing structure and basic exercise equipment.
