Goals
- To purchase new and safe equipment for our neighborhood playground
Overview
IT IS OUR HOPE TO REPAIR OUR DILAPIDATED NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAYGROUND
We wish to purchase new, safe and updated playground equipment for our neighbourhood children. Currently the playground is outdated and extremely unsafe for our children. In our strata property we have an out dated wood play structure that has been treated with CCA (chromate copper arsenate) and is believed to cause cancer. All schools and public parks have removed these playgrounds due to the risk it poses to young children and pets. Our swing seats have exposed metal and are unusable; the park bench has rotted and is falling apart!! We have a teetering teeter totter and a digger that poses major pinch factors; it is not a desirable place for children to play and definately does not inspire the happiness that children should feel when they are playing in a park playground. We want to give our neighbourhood children a safe and desirable playground to enjoy physical activity while having fun!!!
