Facilities: Playgrounds

Introduction

The existing playground, which replaced aging equipment that no longer met safety standards, was installed during the summer of 2004 by Little Tikes Commercial Play Systems Inc.  Having a price tag of more $40 000, the money was raised by two local choirs that gave a benefit concert, as well as designating proceeds from the sale of CD recordings for this cause.  The vibrant colours and various pieces of equipment are being immensely enjoyed by the elementary students of RCS.

The playground consists of a Track Ride, Double Ring Trek, Parallel Pommel Climber, Infinity ground to deck climber, Rock Wall Challenge,  Circle Challenge Ladder, Infinity Loop, Tike of Steel Four, and three slides which includes a DuraGlide™ Spiral Slide.  Surrounded by Kid Timbers™  Board Panels, wood chips are used as a safety surface. In 2006, a set of six swings were added to the playground. This project was also funded by the Hosanna and Mattaniah choirs.
