Starting the week of April 1, 2019, the Tugger Pilot House will be dismantled and removed to make way for a new play structure that will be installed between May and August 2019. The current structure has reached the end of its life cycle due in part to structural corrosion.

Staff have collaborated with Contexture Design to develop a design concept for the replacement of the Tugger. The design concept is inspired by a tugboat hauling a large barge loaded with materials, a common sighting along on the Fraser River in New Westminster.  The new design will continue to serve as a gathering place on the Riverfront, with enhanced play value for children. Project timelines are an estimate.
