The City of Belleville is asking for the public’s feedback regarding construction of a playground at Clifford Sonny Belch Park, formally known as Hillcrest Park.
In November 2023, the city unveiled the park dedicated to former City of Belleville councillor and Hillcrest community member Clifford “Sonny” Belch.
Funding was then approved by Belleville City Council for a new playground structure during 2024 Capital Budget deliberations in December.
The playground structure is part of Phase 2B of the project.
As part of the public engagement process, residents are encouraged to give their feedback on the playground structure including relaying the needs and wants of the community for the playground structure and design elements.
Survey submissions will end on February 9.
After surveys are submitted, the city will begin the tendering process for manufacturers to submit their proposals for the playground.
Following that, a virtual public meeting will be held where residents will have the opportunity to vote on their favourite proposal.
The city says details for that meeting will be made available in the coming months.
