Playground Enhancement
The Playground Upgrade project includes 4 sub-components:
​
• Replacement of the existing pour-in-place (PIP) rubber surfacing to meet CSA Safety Requirements
• Creation of an additional swing area
• Addition of inclusive equipment
• New Gaga Ball Pit
​
The addition of inclusive equipment will be included in the existing footprint of the playground; while including additional swings will require a new area to be created adjacent to the existing playground footprint.
​
Construction start date is yet to be finalized as it is dependent upon securing adequate funding. Construction requires 3 weeks of full access to the playground which limits construction to the summer months.
​
How can you help?
Parent Association is actively seeking cash contributions or donations of In-Kind Services. If you are interested in helping, please reach out to Elke Kusler or Melissa Christensen.

New disc swings are likely the only solution due to the space required for other models.

Construction dates are dependent upon securing adequate funding.
Should our organization be able to secure 50% of the funds by June 2024, we would consider constructing Phase 1 - Additional Swings & Gaga Ball Pit in July & August of 2024.
The remainder of the project would then be constructed in July & August 2025.
Full access to the entire existing playground area is required for 3 weeks to complete the full project, therefore, any construction must occur in the summer months when students are not present at the school.
Funding Plan as of
March 4th, 2024.
Consideration of In-Kind Donations provided by approved equipment operators and volunteer installation not included.
