The City of Moose Jaw was able to fully replace a playground and provide upgrades at a number of others around the city as part of their 2022 Playground Renewal Program.  

This program began in 2021 by the city’s Parks and Recreation Department and provides annual capital funding for the replacement and renewal of Moose Jaw-owned playground sites.  

In 2022, the project was able to fully replace the Moose Jaw Square Park playground that can be used by all ages and abilities. Additional amenities added to the site include a netted merry-go-round, horizontal monkey bar, expression swing for toddlers, a small basketball pad, three new benches, one new garbage receptacle, one new picnic table, and new accessible pathways throughout the site.  

Many of the previous amenities were also left on the site and will be re-painted to give them a fresh look. 

Also, the city was able to replace the deteriorated wooden playground edging at Happy Valley Park. A new bench and garbage receptacle were installed at Keith Crescent Park. A new picnic table and garbage receptacle were installed at Iron Bridge Park.
