School is back in session! Summer fun may have taken its toll on the equipment, and the start of a new school year means it’s time for the regular maintenance that is an important part of keeping playgrounds safe and functional. Inspections – whether formal or informal – should cover hazards such as equipment age, surface safety, tripping and fall hazards, railings, choking and entanglement hazards, equipment spacing, loose, broken, or missing equipment and fasteners.

If you see any hazards, report them to the school, community league, city or local municipality to prevent further damage or an accident from occurring as a result. A safe park is a fun park!

For those who have ‘four-legged children’, dog parks are a great place to connect, exercise, and socialize with other pets and owners. Play for all means furry family members too! Since many playgrounds don’t allow dogs on the equipment, green spaces like dog-friendly parks add value to a community while providing equitable access to the outdoors where people can spend time with their pets in a safe environment.

Dog parks don’t have to be basic though; Amenities such as jumps, ramps, tunnels, and weaving poles can provide extra enrichment and challenges while picnic tables, leash holders, and pet waste disposal units make things more comfortable for handlers.

Unleash more fun in your community: https://playquest.ca/playgrounds/dog-park-equipment/

Today is World Teacher’s Day! The work of a teacher goes far beyond the classroom; taking on multiple roles – educator, advocator, mediator, facilitator, counselor, supervisor – their influence extends into the playground and community, enriching the lives of students and families through the values and lessons taught then put into practice.

Play is an important part of a child’s social, emotional, and cognitive development because when students feel safe and supported, especially while playing, they are more willing to take risks that learning requires in the classroom and on the playground. But trying to create lessons that are fun and engaging with limited resources is a challenge faced by teachers globally, and just like on the playground, these challenges need to be tackled collaboratively by parents, communities, and administrators so both teachers and students can thrive.

Thank you to all the teachers who show up every day with selflessness, passion, and creativity! Today and every day, you deserve to be appreciated and celebrated.

Today is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, dedicated to honouring Residential School Survivors, their families, and communities who continue to feel the lasting impact of the Residential School system.

Founded by Phyllis (Jack) Webstad, who on her first day of residential school at six years old, wore an orange shirt only to have it taken away. A shirt that was supposed to symbolize love, excitement, and belonging now represents how the system tried to take away her culture and identity.

Play is a critical part of learning and preserving culture and traditions, and we remember all the children of residential schools – like Phyllis – who were denied those opportunities. Every child matters and every child has the right to play.

We are grateful to have worked alongside over 50 Indigenous, First Nation, and Metis communities, building playgrounds and creating gathering places where generations can reconnect and heal with their land.

Even with cooler weather, outdoor classrooms can be a great way to add variety to teaching environments. When students learn in nature, it can improve their focus and spark their curiosity while making learning more engaging and memorable. Teachers have often reported more respectful social interactions and less disciplinary action as a result of incorporating outdoor lessons.

From full classrooms to group seating areas as well as education-focused equipment, we can help you create outdoor learning spaces, combining nature and knowledge to enhance students’ experiences.

Today’s fall equinox means summer is officially over, bringing some much-needed cooler temperatures to parts of the country. During extreme summer heat events, many cities have begun setting up public drinkable water stations, but the City of Penticton - Municipality has gone one step further and installed a permanent cooling station in Gyro Park.

Set up along an accessible walkway between the waterfront and main street, the misters also double as decorative solar lights by night. They are activated by a simple button press with an auto-shutoff timer to conserve water. Infrastructure – whether permanent or temporary – like cooling and water stations are critical for helping to prevent serious illnesses like heatstroke, especially for vulnerable populations.

Since not everyone wants to go in the lake or frolic in a spray park, the misters provide a way for people of all ages and abilities some respite to cool off – without changing into a swimsuit.

This project was made possible by a Union of BC Municipalities (UBCM) grant for disaster risk reduction and climate adaptation, and although summer heat may seem like a distant memory, it’s a great time to start planning for next year.

If your community would benefit from a cooling station like the Penticton Gyro Park GloMists, we can help – including applying for grants like the UBCM one. https://playquest.ca/contact/

Mission Creek Regional Park playground turned one year old last month!

The playground features sensory play elements, interpretive panels, a Burke 360 Loop slide, Nova Rocker, as well as poured-in-place rubber surfacing that makes it easier for kids or those with mobility supports to join in the fun with their peers. With two different play areas catering to ages two to five and five to 12, each space provides developmentally appropriate play opportunities challenges.

This project was a true community effort as the Regional District of Central Okanagan (RDCO) received input from over 200 residents during the planning process. Now, it’s a vibrant gathering place used daily by dozens of locals and visitors to the area year-round.

Backing onto Mission Creek, kids can incorporate natural play with the trees and water into their playground fun, giving them endless opportunities for adventures and exploration.

If seeing Mission Creek Regional Park has inspired you, we can help your community build an accessible playground too! Get in touch: https://playquest.ca/playgrounds/inclusive-equipment-design/

Shiver me timbers, it’s Talk Like a Pirate day!

If you’re sailing through Calgary, you might see the Jolly Roger on the Bow River’s mighty shores... or at least the shores of Hidden Valley Pond! Not all treasure is silver and gold, at Hidden Valley Park playground the real treasure is the fun to be had as young swashbucklers climb the ropes and take their lookout.

So cast ye gaze upon this great playground and see how you’d fare as a pirate (or mermaid!) on the seven seas.

Arrrr you ready for your own pirate-themed playground? Throw us a line: https://playquest.ca/playground-themes/

It's the long weekend! Which means extra time to go out and enjoy the sunshine and maybe even a spray park... like Bear Creek Park in Surrey that opened this past May!

We had a great time making a splash during the site tour and it's been well used over the summer.

A special thank you to Melody Smale from the City of Surrey, Genevieve Dumas from Vortex Aquatic Structures International Inc., and Stephen Heller from VDZ+A Consulting for their support with the project and joining in the community fun.

Have a happy and safe long weekend!

Regular maintenance is an important part of keeping playgrounds safe and functional. Inspections – whether formal or informal – should cover hazards such as equipment age, surface safety, tripping and fall hazards, railings, choking and entanglement hazards, equipment spacing, loose, broken, or missing equipment and fasteners.

If you see any hazards, report them to the owner/operator of the park, whether that’s the city or local municipality, local homeowners' association, or community league, to prevent further damage or an accident from occurring as a result. A safe park is a fun park!
