Home | Earl Grey Play

A Brief Overview of the Project

Our well-loved Earl Grey Playground is nearing the end of its safe lifespan in accordance with CBE standards, creating an exciting opportunity to reimagine this space for our growing community of diverse needs! With your support, The Earl Grey Playground Revitalization Committee, a sub-committee of the Earl Grey Parent Association School Council, aims to build a stimulating and inclusive playground that fosters play for everyone.

Imagine an inviting, and accessible play space for our students and community to learn, grow and develop their skills. A fun, inclusive and safe environment whether you wheel, crawl, walk or run. A place for the community, parents and guardians to gather and connect.

With your support, this is achievable!

Our Current Progress

Our fundraising efforts are underway. Thanks to the groundwork efforts by the previous parent council, volunteers and donors, we’ve secured almost $50,000 towards our project goal of $480,000. We will apply for approximately $200,000 in grants starting in September 2024, leaving $230,000 to be raised through individual and corporate donations.

While $480,000 may seem lofty, this will ensure that we are able to address the top three priorities for the playground – replacing the gravel surface with a more accessible, safe and durable rubber surface, increasing accessibility and providing a diverse and stimulating play area. With a focus on a new surface, accessibility and diverse play elements, the new playground will not only accommodate the school's students but also cater to the broader community, promoting physical activity, social interaction, and recreational opportunities for all.

We invite you to support the Earl Grey Playground project and donate now!
