“We know that during the pandemic, many residents felt disconnected from their neighbours,” said PJ Swales, Sport and Recreation Coordinator with The City. “’Meet Me at the Park’ provides an opportunity for residents to get out and reconnect with each other in a safe and fun way.”

The City says activities offered will vary from site to site based on the amenities available and will include a variety of options for unstructured, creative play. Activities may change based on community interests and may include:

• Circuit courses, obstacle course
• Scavenger hunts
• Soccer/basketball/tennis/pickleball/badminton/baseball
• Block party games
• Arts and crafts
