The need for a playground in the Cedar area has been identified by the community. The land adjacent to the Cedar Skate Park has been identified as a suitable location for the new playground.
Outdoor pickleball and basketball courts in the Cedar area, have also been identified by the community. The RDN is working with School District 68 on ways to accommodate community use of Cedar Community Secondary School lands for these amenities.
In addition to the playground and pickleball courts, a proposal to design and install a bike pump track in this area was presented to the RDN. The new bike pump track announced on August 19, 2025, is being funded through a generous donation from the Stevie Smith Legacy Foundation. To learn about the Stevie Smith Legacy Foundation, visit www.steviesmithlegacy.com. Construction of the pump track, by the Foundation, is anticipated to start in 2026. The RDN will manage and maintain the pump track after it has been constructed.
A draft concept plan was presented to the Electoral Area A Parks, Recreation and Culture Committee (PRCC) showing how these amenities could be integrated within the Cedar Skate Park lands and School District 68 property.
We look forward to hearing from you about the desired playground equipment for this space.

At the May 24, 2022, the Electoral Area A Parks, Recreation and Culture Committee (PRCC) meeting " it was moved and seconded that staff investigate the feasibility of a small playground at the Cedar Plaza." Following this motion, staff explored the possibility of placing a small playground at the Cedar Plaza and, due to the topography, parcel size and proximity to the road, staff determined that the plaza was not a suitable location for a playground. Other locations within the Cedar area were explored, including the Cedar Heritage Centre and Cedar Skate Park.
