New adventures ahead at Cougar & Lafayette Playgrounds

Exciting changes are coming to Cougar and Lafayette Parks! The City of Lethbridge is replacing both playgrounds in time for summer.

The play structures at each site have reached the end of their lifespan and need updates. These projects will replace the aging equipment with new, CSA‑compliant playground features that meet today’s safety standards.

Each playground will also include unique upgrades.

Cougar Park

The new playground equipment is designed for children aged two to 12 years old. It will introduce a variety of exciting new challenges and play experiences that modern equipment provides. We’re also refreshing the existing pea gravel surface.

A new solar light will shine on the southwest side of the playground. It will enhance safety and comfort for all playground users.

Lafayette Park

The new playground equipment is designed for children aged 18 months to five years old. The inclusive space will include accessible components and artificial turf surfacing to accommodate users of all abilities. This is the first playground in Lethbridge to include artificial turf. Benefits include safety, low maintenance and durability.

More information on each project is on their respective Get Involved Lethbridge pages:

• Lafayette Playground link: https://getinvolvedlethbridge.ca/lafayette-park-playground-replacement

During construction, there will be fencing installed around each site. The public is asked to stay clear of the fenced areas to keep themselves and workers safe. Both projects are scheduled to finish by mid-June, weather permitting.
