Play in the Park is a free, supervised, outdoor program for children aged 6 to 12 years old.
Children participate in fun recreational activities including organized games, sports, crafts, theme days, and special events in local neighbourhood parks. All our programs are supervised by qualified staff trained in HIGH FIVE® principles of healthy child development.
The 2024 Let’s Play in the Park drop-in program is open and we look forward to welcoming you back for another exciting year of outdoor fun.
Starting July 2, each program location will have a set number of participants spots available each day. Attending the program is on a first-come-first-serve basis.
Note: Parents/guardians, when dropping off your children, you will be asked to sign in and complete a few forms.
