5. Presentations/Deputations
5.1. Playground Equipment and Tillsonburg Community Centre Presented by: Rick Cox, Director of Recreation, Culture and Parks
Rick Cox, Director of Recreation, Culture and Parks, provided an overview of the Town’s current playground equipment replacement schedule. All swing sets were recently replaced to meet code and each update included a
barrier free saddle/seat style swing.
Glendale Park is currently scheduled to be replaced in 2020. The tennis courts at Memorial Park are not accessible. The Rotary Club of
Tillsonburg has committed to improving pathways to the tennis courts. The fence
access to the tennis courts would need to be widened to meet accessibility standards. It was suggested to put up signage at the Community Centre pool indicating that
space for caregiver assistance or gender neutral space is available by asking
staff. Staff noted that Lake Lisgar Waterpark will operate without a waterslide again this year.
6. General Business & Reports 6.1. Accessibility Review of Town Facilities 6.2. Wheelchair Accessible Swing
Staff noted that a wheelchair accessible swing is in the range of $12,000 and
that it would make most sense to include one in the design of a new park. Rick Cox left at 3:14 p.m.
It was suggested that if the waterpark was replaced by a splash pad, that would
be the ideal location for a wheelchair accessible swing to be installed. 7. Correspondence
