City of Hamilton

Published purpose

The project will create improvements to the Hamilton Children’s Museum, a heritage building located in Gage Park in downtown central-east Hamilton. Improvements will include supporting an addition to the existing building to add interior programming space with barrier-free entrances and bathrooms, and assisted technologies for the visually impaired. The project will install an elevator to improve access to the second floor in the existing building. Finally, exterior space will be improved and expanded to create one large outdoor gathering space, a children’s garden with native and drought resistance plants to support local ecosystems, and two exterior patio play spaces with a fenced yard for secure outdoor play.
