Butterfield Park Playground Fencing Installation (2025)

Based on community feedback, staff propose installing non-climbing steel fencing with limited access points at the Butterfield Park Playground for All. Feedback was provided about the safe use of playground spaces from families with children that are prone to elope. The fence will have one ingress/egress location to allow patrons to more easily monitor children within the boundary of the play area. It will not include a gate to prevent unnecessary maintenance costs long-term and be made of steel, which will better withstand abuse and vandalism. Staff propose funding this project with Recreation Fund reserves.
