Kerry Wood Nature Center hosts Adventure Playground

RED DEER- Youth HQ is partnering with Kerry Wood Nature Center and members of the community to host Red Deer’s first of two mobile ‘Adventure Playground’ events.

The first one will be held on Friday, June 30 from 10 a.m. to 4 .pm. at Kerry Wood Nature Center in the Nova Chemicals Imagination Grove, and will be open to members of the public of all ages.

Modeled after similar projects in Calgary and around the world, Adventure Playgrounds are supervised spaces where youth are encouraged to get dirty, use manual tools, and foster imaginative play with items at hand.

Companies within Red Deer have generously donated recycled materials including cardboard, recycled plastics, wood, tools, and renovation supplies for kids to use and construct a world of their own making.

Youth HQ and Nature Centre staff and volunteers will be on hand to supervise and engage with youth throughout the day.
