Help Create A Legacy
The Killaloe natural play space
A group of local citizens is
fundraising for an innovative
new play space. Currently, the
only playgrounds in Killaloe are
at the schools meaning there are
no dedicated public spaces to
enjoy the outdoors.
Parks are where friendships are
forged. When people regularly
walk to, and enjoy, public spaces
they support build a sense of
community. Children being seen
and heard in shared public
spaces is the hallmark of a vital
community, according to Play
Policy UK.
Improving parks positively
affects local economies. Trails
and green spaces can become
community trademarks,
reinforcing civic pride and
community reputation. Public
parks stimulate tourism and
recreation-related spending and
bolster property values.
Natural play spaces are a hot
trend with young families today.
Their inexpensive and simple
designs offer children more than
conventional play structures.
David Suzuki found that “kids
spend twice as much time
playing, use their imaginations
more and engage in more
aerobic and strengthening
activities when the space
incorporates natural elements
like logs, flowers and small
streams.”
The committee is working to
match a grant that township
received for this project. You can
donate at the CIBC in Killaloe or
search online for the Killaloe
Natural Play Space on the True
North Strong website.
Help create a legacy for the
children!
