William Dutton Park Getting New Playground Equipment

Sunday, 9 September 2012 04:20

A lucky park in Woodstock will be getting a playground upgrade. William Dutton Park's play equipment has seen its age and received city approval to be re-installed on Thursday. The city's Parks and Rec Director Brian Connors says they want to get the new playground up quickly for the students at Algonquin School. "Right now it's closed because they're taking the old stuff down. So once this passes, basically the next day we're going to start to do the first part of the work. It will go up fairly quick once we start." A new playground is expected to be open in 3 to 4 weeks.
