Pemberton Park Playground Replacement
The City of Victoria is replacing the old playground in Pemberton Park with a new playground, coming 2026.
There was an online survey and two pop-ups events in the community in September 2024. Thanks for taking the time to have your say on the new design.
Our goals for the new playground include:
Create an inclusive and accessible playground that provides a diversity of play experiences
Expand and enhance play opportunities while preserving existing trees and open space
Compose a design that complements the natural surroundings within the park
We are creating an inclusive and accessible playground through the careful selection of the equipment and site design. The playground will remain close to the washroom building and drinking fountain.

Pemberton Park is the second largest park in the Gonzales neighbourhood (after Hollywood Park), and is in walking distance from the Rockland, Jubilee and Fairfield neighbourhoods.
The park is well established with large mature trees and open lawn areas. It offers several community amenities including a ball diamond, trails, leash-optional area, playground and washrooms.
Project Background
This project is part of the City's playground renewal program to upgrade and/or replace playgrounds throughout the city. Staff have developed goals for the playgrounds based on guidance from the Parks and Open Spaces Master Plan, the Urban Forest Master Plan, Canadian Safety Standards for Children’s Play Spaces, best practices in playground design and current international guidelines for creating inclusive play spaces.
