CHILLIWACK — Residents of Chilliwack will soon have access to a new nature-themed playground on a vacant parcel of land in Sardis owned by Enbridge, an energy infrastructure company.

According to a statement from Enbridge spokesperson Rawnna Low, the City of Chilliwack will repurpose a 0.3-acre parcel of land on Crestwood Drive into a recreational space to address the need for an accessible outdoor play area in the neighbourhood. The project aligns with the city’s Greenspace Plan, which works to expand and improve access to parks and outdoor recreational facilities across the city.

The new playground is expected to be built this month and unveiled for public use by June. The playground’s nature themed design consists of a leaf-shaped climbing structure, a butterfly maze and an insect memory game, along with timeless favourites like a swing, a rainmaker and slides.

Designed with inclusivity top of mind, the playground will be accessible to children of all abilities and will offer a safe, welcoming environment for families to enjoy the outdoors together, Enbridge says.

Enbridge operates a natural gas pipeline system in the area, and transports safe, reliable energy used to heat homes, businesses, hospitals and schools. Natural gas is also used in electrical power generation and fuels industries that produce hundreds of products that improve our lives.
