Drayton Valley’s newest playground project receives town funding
Drayton Valley’s newest playground project received another grant Wednesday, this time coming from the Town of Drayton Valley.
Town council moved to approve $50,000 towards the Shark Park Playground, which would be the town’s first fully inclusive grounds for children and adults of all ages and abilities. The concept of the playground is “barrier free,” which allows for equipment that people with disabilities or parents with strollers can utilize.
Councillor Debra Bossert praised the playgrounds inclusiveness as well as the Shark Park Playground committee members.
“The members worked long and hard to raise the money, and it shows dedication to the community and I am very pleased that they are choosing barrier free equipment. I commend that they have focused on that,” Bossert said.
