A brand new playground at Ecole Roosevelt Park Community School has just completed construction thanks to a partnership between the Prince Rupert Port Authority’s Community Investment Fund and the Roosevelt Park Community School Parent Advisory Committee.
This was the second time that these two organizations worked together on a community project that would be beneficial to the families and youth of Prince Rupert.
This new playground features equipment that is conducive to group play and even offers children development opportunities.
These pieces of equipment include a We-Saw, a wheelchair-accessible see-saw that emphasizes motor planning, a Super Netplex, where kids can navigate up, down, and all around the structure while helping them with their strategic planning skills and an Oodle swing that can have several kids on it at once.
Around $220,000 was committed to this project by the Port Authority in order to help make the idea of this playground a reality.
