MISSION — The City of Mission is planning to upgrade and replace aging playground equipment at Gary McDonald Park and Jack Wade Park and is inviting residents to provide feedback on proposed upgrades.

At Gary McDonald Park, located at the end of Bobcat Drive, the plan includes maintaining current playground structures while expanding the site to feature new seesaws, spinners, and rockers. Proposed improvements aim to increase climbing, swinging, and balancing options while enhancing the slides.
