In 2026, the Town of Hinton will be replacing the Bradwell Park Playground as it has reached the end of its operational life. You can help choose the new playground design!

What type of playground is needed?

In 2019, ISL Engineering and Land Services created a Parks, Open Space and Trails Master Plan (POST) for the Town of Hinton. Community feedback was incorporated in creating the POST and that plan now dictates which amenities are constructed at each park.

Bradwell Park is a neighbourhood park which POST describes as:
"can be tot lots, decorative parks, and ornamental parks that service town needs at the neighborhood level. These parks are generally smaller in nature and can include a mix of passive and active programs".
