The Municipality of Bluewater held a grand opening Wednesday for its new accessible play structure in Hensall.
The ribbon cutting at the local Kinsmen Park included Huron Bruce MPP Lisa Thompson, municipal officials, and volunteers from the Ontario Trillium Foundation, which provided $100,000 in support of the project.
"This new playground equipment is a great addition for the community of Hensall," Thompson in a media release. "It will be a great space where youth can explore, play, socialize and have fun! In supporting this structure, the Ontario government is affirming its commitment to creating family-oriented, safe communities."
The municipality says by replacing the outdated equipment with a new, accessible structure, it can ensure the playground can be enjoyed by children of all abilities, creating a safe, inclusive environment that supports play and social development.
It also thanked those who participated in the process by providing suggestions for the design.
