Getting things done – Victoria Park #dundeewestend

A local resident recently reported as follows to me :

“We went to visit play park in Victoria Park this afternoon. Wanted to use baby swing.

I obviously had a young child with me and my adult daughter who is a power chair user.

We were unable to access the play park as no designated access path.

Grass very wet, not pram or wheelchair friendly.”

I have taken this issue up with the City Council’s environment management and a senior service manager has agreed to take this matter up.
