Wearmouth Park Update

/in /by

🎉 Exciting News for Wearmouth Park! 🎉
Our long‑loved playground is about to get a fresh new look – starting this week.
🔨 What to Expect:
-Aug 21–22: Site prep kicks off — fencing and pruning begin.
-Aug 22 (possibly): Dismantling of the old playground may start.
-Sept 8 (weather permitting): Installation of the new playground begins.
⚠ Safety Alert: Once fencing is in place, the playground is closed and unsafe for use.
A few additional notes about the site itself:

-The ground is quite wet, and the grass is currently very lush and soft.
-The existing pathway is old and not in great shape.
-Unfortunately, some damage to the greenspace is expected due to the condition of the site and the need to bring in equipment.

Parks staff will keep greenspace damage to a minimum and complete any needed repairs after construction.
We’re excited to bring this fresh, safe, and fun play space to GlenEagles!

Grass Maintenance in Cochrane Parks

A Message From the Town of Cochrane

Hello Community Association friends!

We’ve been getting a number of calls lately about the long grass in some of our parks, and we just wanted to say – we hear you, and we totally agree! The grass is growing like crazy, and we are doing our best to stay on top of it.

With all the rain we’ve had this year (thanks, Mother Nature!), it’s been a challenge to get our mowing equipment into the parks. Wet conditions mean our mowers don’t perform well, and using heavy machinery on saturated ground risks damaging the turf.

We truly appreciate your patience as we work to get things back on track.

On the bright side, the parks are looking extra green and lush this year – Mother Nature is definitely doing her part to keep things beautiful!
