Thomas Slee Park, a cherished green space in the Doon South neighbourhood, has just unveiled a new feature that promises to enhance the park experience for all its visitors. This summer, the park proudly introduced a sleek, new metal shade table, a refreshing upgrade that not only adds more seating, but also marked a significant milestone in a long-term park improvement project. 

The journey to this new shade table began back in 2017, when community leaders and park enthusiasts envisioned transforming Thomas Slee Park into a more accessible and enjoyable space. The original project aimed to answer a need for more seating in the park to better accommodate the growing number of park-goers, with picnic tables being added to the park in 2018. The addition of the metal shade table is a significant next step, fulfilling a long-standing desire to offer more shaded seating options for the park’s many visitors. 

Be sure to check out the new metal shade table the next time you visit Thomas Slee Park! It’s not just a place to sit; it’s a symbol of the community’s dedication to fostering a vibrant and inclusive park experience. Wether you’re meeting friends, enjoying a meal, or simply soaking up the park’s atmosphere, this new feature is sure to make your visit even more enjoyable.
