Graceful Aging Through Connecting with Nature Events
Other Community Environmental Events
What could a ParticiPARK look like at Bramalea Limited Community Park?
ParticipACTION, Bienenstock Natural Playgrounds and the City of Brampton invite you to learn more about the concept and share your ideas. There will be food and fun activities for everyone. Residents of all ages are welcome to drop by. The event is free and will take place rain or shine.
ParticiPARKS are inclusive and accessible outdoor physical activity and recreation spaces that are being designed in select communities in Canada as part of a pilot project funded by the Public Health Agency of Canada. ParticipACTION and Bienenstock Natural Playgrounds are collaborating with each municipality on its ParticiPARK design to ensure it meets the unique needs of the community.
