Carpenter Park Survey Results

Between June 15 and July 6, 2026, the City offered a survey to the public to provide their feedback regarding the upcoming playground replacement at Carpenter Park. The survey provided images of various playground components, which were grouped into their respective categories, allowing respondents to select their top choices for each. Additionally, written responses were received, which contained feedback and information regarding the demographics of survey respondents. These written responses will be considered in both the Carpenter Park playground design, and for the continuous improvement of our playground replacement projects throughout the City.

City staff are currently in the process of completing the new playground design and will be incorporating the feedback received from the survey. The design is expected to be finalized in 2026 and will be shared on the project website Hamilton.ca/PlayYourWay once available. We encourage you to check back regularly to stay up-to-date on important project updates.

Final equipment selection and installation may vary from what is shown here. Community feedback will help to guide the design of the future play structure and include elements like the examples described in the survey.
