School Playground

projects

School playgrounds built with schools, parent councils and fundraising committees. Examples include Glenwood Elementary in Langley, BC, Steffie Woima Elementary in Sylvan Lake, Dalhousie School in Calgary, Hardisty School in Edmonton and St. Thomas Aquinas School in Calgary, a National Demonstration Site. A school playground has to handle recess crowds and work for every grade and ability, and many are funded through grants and fundraising, which our team can help plan.

School Playground

Svend Hanson School (Edmonton, AB)

I think it’s our favourite trapeze! Zipline Spinners are a rare treat in Edmonton – and we’re big fans of the ones at Svend Hansen School.

School Playground

Shauna May Seneca School (Edmonton, AB)

The zipline spinner is truly one of my favourite pieces of newer playground equipment. There are 3 seats, so I can push and then jump on with the girls; the girls love stunting and trying tricks on it; and I love that it’s a piece that littler kids can enjoy – as long as they can sit on the platform and hold tight to the rope!
