​Would you like to see the playground at Dechene/Good Shepherd park get an upgrade? 
We would! Help us better understand the needs of the community and what is important to you in a playground. Please fill out this survey: https://forms.gle/Jpjzpin5si8sZegq7

Picture
The park is located adjacent to Good Shepherd Catholic School (GSCS). The parent council at GSCS started a committee to redevelop the playground. After 24 great years of play, the city has recommended a full replacement of the existing playground. Many features have deteriorated beyond repair and been blocked off or removed. Given that most of the playground is wood and the base material is sand, it poses potential hazards and lacks accessibility for all children.

​If you would prefer we also have a QR code for the survey 
Have a question or need more info? Please email us at goodshepplayground@gmail.com
Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. Your input is greatly appreciated.
