Planning continues for new playground at Big Marble Go Centre

MEDICINE HAT, AB – The city is looking for feedback from the community as it plans for a new playground at the big Marble Go Centre.

Children and parents can vote on their preferred amenities and playground theme. An online survey regarding the proposed playground styles is now available on Shape Your City.

“Our intention is to build a new playground closer to the facility entrance, which offers a new way to play, is accessible, and is surrounded by trees, offering natural protection from the sun and wind,” said Jamie McLeod, manager of asset planning and facility operations with the City of Medicine Hat, in a news release.

The survey results will be part of the final decision on the play structure concept. The decision will be weighted as follows: Survey Results – 40 per cent, Research/best practices – 30 per cent, Contributions from community stakeholders – 20 per cent and Feedback from subject matter experts 10 per cent.
