As I was driving down the main street of Dundas Ontario, something caught my eye.
There, on the corner of the street, was a fenced area with grass, trees, rocks, logs, wooden chairs and tables and bright, colourful welcoming art. It beckoned to be explored.
So, Timmie's (Canadian coffee institution) green tea latte in hand, I went exploring.

I found hand carved log chairs
wooden tables and chairs for picnics, projects and deep conversation
movable, create-able obstacle course materials
a hill slide
rocks to climb
and posts for stimulation of imaginative and dramatic play
What a fabulous space for children to create and build their own play worlds.
Guess what I want at my school ....
This is so great! My daughter's preschool is going to be doing a fundraiser to make some changes to the outdoor playspace. I will be sharing the link to this post with them.
