“Castlegar opens Canada’s tallest castle play structure”. Chelsea Novak. Castlegar News. 2024-06-14T13:00. https://www.castlegarnews.com/community/castlegar-opens-canadas-tallest-castle-play-structure-7387997.
Here is a before on Google Street View, and here is an after (while under construction).
That took some figuring on my part of where they put it — it’s right on top of the old playground, beside the commemorative plaque, between the end of the parking lot and the ponds.
This isn’t the park’s first foray into rubber; they already put in an outdoor fitness facility slightly downriver when the park was newer, using the same surface material.
It looks like to be named the “tallest play structure” they cheated and put a cone on top — I was trying to figure out how it was taller than tha Terra Nova Rural Farm Playground in Richmond — the height seems the same (same slide) but the Richmond structure doesn’t have the cone on top.
