Parents are wary about potential changes the city could make to their kids' beloved Dufferin Grove Park playground, which is slated for "renewal" next spring.

Ward 18 (Davenport) Councillor Adam Giambrone confirmed that the city is in the midst of a public consultation process and said that people are concerned about what might replace the existing playground equipment. It needs replacing "because things wear out and safety issues have come to light," he said, but didn't elaborate.

The potential changes to the park are part of a $6 million 'playground safety project' launched in 2000.
