Blackfalds opening accessible playground Friday in Valley Ridge
A new inclusive playground opens today in Blackfalds’ Valley Ridge neighbourhood.
Ground was broken on the playground in 2019. It was designed in consultation with Variety-A Children’s Charity.
Variety says less than 10 per cent of all playgrounds in Alberta accomodate children and community members with disabilities.
“With the benefits for physical, cognitive, emotional, and social development, creating inclusive playgrounds will help remove these barriers by using an inclusive design that benefits all children,” explains Larry Horeczy, Co-Managing Director with Variety.
