Another revitalized playground is open and ready to welcome kids.

Parry Sound officials unveiled the newly installed Mission Street Park ninja course on Aug. 11.

The renovation is part of a $750,000 project to overhaul five parks across town. Renovations at all five of those parks – Waubuno Beach, William, Cherry, Booth and Mission Street – are now complete.

The town received a $500 thousand dollars grant from the Northern Ontario Heritage Corporation. The difference will be covered with funds allocated in the 2024 capital budget.

Officials say the installation of a fitness circuit on the fitness trail was anticipated to begin the week of Aug. 11 to 15.
