A generous donation from ING Direct, in collaboration with Bienenstock Natural Playgrounds, has made this possible.
“I am thrilled that such an innovative playground will become part of our community, “ says Councillor Paula Fletcher. “We want parents and kids to have a say in its design and I look forward to their feedback.”
A community consultation will be held on Thursday August 27 from 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm at the Jimmie Simpson Recreation Centre.
Natural Playground designers will incorporate suggestions from the meeting and develop a plan for the park. The playground will be constructed in September with the help of residents during a community build day, with the help of volunteers from ING direct and Natural Playgrounds.”
“It will be a really wonderful event and something we will look forward to this fall, “ says Fletcher
