Playgrounds Program

Summer 2025

We have started to plan so many fun things for this summer and we can't wait to update you. Keep an eye on this page or our Instagram page for updates!

Participants aged 5 (by the end of 2025)-12 will be playing games, doing crafts and enjoying themed days.

We are a drop in-program, so no pre-registration is required. Please note we experience high volumes at some of our sites and often reach capacity. Admission into the program is at a first come, first serve basis. 

We ask that all kids come with full water bottles, sunscreen, nut-safe lunch and snacks, and weather-appropriate clothing and athletic footwear.

Staff

All staff is trained in Standard First Aid, Level C CPR and HIGH FIVE, Principals of Healthy Childhood Development. HIGH FIVE supports the healthy development of children in recreation and sport.
