ParticipACTION is hosting a community idea jamming session

ParticipACTION and Bienenstock Natural Playgrounds are hosting a community idea jamming session at Sergeant Tommy Prince Place. We are working with them to explore the idea of a ParticiPARK on-site. It could be part of our ongoing improvements to the site’s outdoor space.

This family-friendly event will build on the feedback you gave us last summer about the outdoor space.

Date: Saturday, September 16, 2023
Location: Sergeant Tommy Prince Place outdoor space, 90 Sinclair Street
Time: 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Format: Drop in (come and go)

The event will take place rain or shine. There will be food and fun activities for everyone. Community members of all ages are welcome.

At the event:

• ParticipACTION will share information about the ParticiPARK concept.
• You will tell us what you may want to see in a ParticiPARK design.

After the event, Bienenstock Natural Playgrounds will develop a preliminary ParticiPARKS design for the site. Participants will receive an email in the week after the event which will include an invitation to take an online survey about the proposed design. Alternatively, participants can complete the survey on the project webpage.

What is the ParticiPARKS project?

ParticiPARKS are inclusive and accessible outdoor physical activity and recreation spaces that are being designed in select communities in Canada as part of a pilot project funded by the Public Health Agency of Canada. ParticipACTION and Bienenstock Natural Playgrounds are collaborating with each municipality on its ParticiPARK design to ensure it meets the unique needs of the community.
