Prince Rupert children have a new place to play that’s accessible to all.
Conrad Elementary School held the grand opening of its new playground Thursday.
The project features new, fully accessible playground equipment for those with mobility limitations and rubberized matting material.
The Prince Rupert Port Authority contributed over $116,000 to the new playground, along with help from the provincial government, school district, local parent advisory council, and other groups.
“The Prince Rupert Port Authority is proud to contribute to expanding the Conrad Elementary School Park into an inclusive, fully-accessible space for not only Conrad students, but all children residing in the community,” said Shaun Stevenson, President and CEO of the Prince Rupert Port Authority in a news release.
Chair of the Conrad Parent Advisory Council Melissa Boutilier, says they’ve received nothing but great feedback from parents and children who have played at the park and look forward to maximizing its use in the upcoming year.
