The following article, from the Kiwanis Club of Orléans, Ontario, describes the steps that were taken from inception to completion of the Kiwanis Adventure Playground:
"KAP - A Fantastic Community Project Comes To Life
When our Kiwanis Club decided to build a playground in Orleans, community involvement was our key objective, so we put out as invitation to 60 children to take part in a design workshop to help decide what play elements we needed. After all, who best to consult than the children who will enjoy the facility for years to come.
From that adventure we learned that the kids wanted a huge ship and a tall Parliament style tower with gigantic slides to offer the best play while reflecting our local community and National Capital city.
The mega playground is 10 times the size of any typical community play structure and is located at the Cumberland Millennium Sports Park, 2135 Trim Road. The park is specifically targeted for children ages two to 12 of all abilities.
And best of all, our community volunteered, over 150 friends and neighbors, to actually build the structure and complete the safe surfaces." (
