Playground History (incomplete)

Peter Secor Park playground maintenance history

Notes

This playground is manufactured by Playpower, a large transnational manufacturer which has a Canadian dealer in Paris, Ontario. The equipment label gives the date of manufacture as April 2010.

At 12.30 on a hazy, hot Sunday, there were no children at the playground -- just one elderly woman sitting on a swing. The surfacing is deep sand, and there is no accessible swing or other notably accessible feature.

The playground is beside a school.
