Playground removals and replacements coming to Riverfront Park

The Town of Cochrane is making changes to Riverfront Park’s playground as part of ongoing efforts to maintain safety and improve play spaces.

Parks and Open Spaces announced the removal of three popular features: the bank slide, the weave poles and the log climbing structure.

“These wooden structures have experienced weather-related wear,” the Town said in a Facebook post. “Recent vandalism has caused additional damage.”

A new traditional slide is set to replace the bank slide later this season.

The log structure and weave poles will be replaced in 2026 with new play elements.

“We appreciate your understanding as we work to keep our parks safe, fun and welcoming for everyone."

No exact dates were given for the upcoming installations.
