What is this project all about?
We recently had the opportunity to bring fun and functionality to a not-so-exciting spot on Sparks Street. Our urban planting beds went under construction, transforming into a relaxing spot that people of all ages could enjoy. Whether you're simply passing through and need a place to rest your feet or you're hoping your kids will burn some of their energy before heading home, Play & Grow on Sparks is the place for you.
How to enjoy the Play & Grow site on Sparks Street:
Grab a coffee and soak up some sunshine (or find a shaded spot to keep cool)
Let the kids run around on these steel and concrete imaginary mountains to burn some energy.
Bring a book and grab a bite to-go at one of the local spots nearby.
This program was completed as part of the Canada Community Revitalization Fund supported by FedDev Ontario. We couldn't thank them enough for their support in making this project happen.
See you there!
Was walking past the new mountain-things and wondered what it cost to pour those concrete slabs—turns out costs of concrete slab aren’t too bad if you plan right. My kid’s already obsessed with climbing them while I sip cheap coffee in the shade, haha.
If you're planning a similar concrete playground like the steel and concrete imaginary mountains at Play & Grow, the concrete block wall cost calculator can help you budget the materials. I love how the new urban planting beds give families a spot to grab coffee, let the kids burn energy, and just chill on Sparks Street – definitely a win for the community!
I was just telling my kid the other day that Sparks Street needed something fun. Found this ai discussion response generator while looking for more play-space ideas, and it reminded me of the concrete "mountains" they built there. Anyone else notice the place actually smells like coffee now instead of construction dust?
That’s exciting news! Play & Grow on Sparks Street sounds like a wonderful initiative to bring the community together. Great to see spaces being created for fun, learning, and connection! Nejlepší Kasino
What a great idea to make it a fun spot for everyone. Wonder if they have motorcycle games nearby to keep the fun going! I'd love to check it out next time I'm around.
