Strathcona Beach Park is now home to three new inclusive play structures, part of the City of 麻豆精选鈥檚 continued push to make public spaces welcoming for everyone.
The new installations are an accessible Hedra Scout play structure, a We-Go-Round carousel designed for wheelchairs, and a sensory play centre with interactive touch panels for children aged two to five.
鈥淭hese additions promote barrier-free access to Strathcona Beach Park, creating opportunities for children of all abilities to play, explore, and connect,鈥� said Mayor Tom Dyas. 鈥淭hese improvements help ensure families can enjoy welcoming spaces and create lasting memories together. We are proud to support vibrant outdoor spaces that bring our community together.鈥�
The project marks the second phase of the park鈥檚 transformation and was made possible through a partnership between the city and the Kiwanis Legacy Endowment Fund, which is administered by the 麻豆精选 General Hospital Foundation (KGH).
鈥淲e are so proud to help shape spaces where every child feels welcome, included, and able to experience the joy of play. This is what community means to us,鈥� said Wendy Falkowski, chair of the Kiwanis Legacy Fund.
Other upgrades include improved surfacing and restoration work.
鈥淲e know that health begins in community, and this project is a meaningful investment in early childhood well-being and the connections that help families thrive, a cause we鈥檙e proud to champion,鈥� Allison Young, CEO of the KGH Foundation, said.
