Maintenance of public washrooms, playgrounds, and tennis courts, and garbage collection:
The Parks Division is accountable for a large inventory outside the realm of plant material. The public washrooms, change rooms, drinking fountains, garbage collection within the parks system, tennis court maintenance, playground maintenance, graffiti removal, parking lot cleaning (associated with a park), water spray features, and skate park are just some of the areas our caretakers are tasked with looking after.
We have caretakers working 364 days a year. The workload shifts around depending on the seasonal activities and the weather patterns. During the summer months we focus on playgrounds, tennis courts, public washrooms, garbage collection, and other areas that will enhance the experience people will have within our parks system. During the winter months, we spend time on playground upgrades, pathway maintenance, servicing change rooms, and improvements to other areas.
Due to the nature and scope of the work undertaken, we cannot provide daily attention to the entire inventory. We strive to provide a safe and clean environment for all our users. Unfortunately, at times, some people choose to use our facilities in a manner that leaves them in a condition that is not acceptable for the next user. Should anyone ever want to contact us regarding the condition of, or request maintenance for, a particular area, please phone 361-0600 or E-mail Us
