REcent Project: Narrows Playground

The Narrows playground was completed in October 2023 thanks to the incredible work of Brennen Mills and the team at Saskatoon Fire & Flood. The company donated the material and labour including the complete site prep, concrete, installation of wooden beams & sand to finish the surface which meant approximately $25,000 in costs were covered, or nearly a quarter of the project amount.

Accessible activities include a ramp with rails to an extra wide platform where a Canadian wildlife memory game, alphabet & number maze, steering wheel and a crawl tube can be enjoyed.

The playground touches on nature themes throughout the design including animal & evergreen tree toppers, moose & evergreen silhouettes, and colours like greens, tans and browns suitable to the natural surroundings of the mature forest of spruce, fir & aspen trees.

Did you know the Narrows is just a short four-kilometre drive or boat ride from the Paignton Beach day use area? Paignton is often packed with families & visitors. The new Narrows playground can help relieve this pressure and has added an incredible amenity for active kid-friendly family fun to the area. 

The ball diamond improvement project completed in October 2023 was another home run thanks to the help of Brennen Mills and the team from Saskatoon Fire & Flood. Portions of the infield and outfield were refurbished including sizing and levelling the baselines, adding soil and reseeding grass, along with a full replacement of the backstop. Special thanks to Drew and Karen Byers, Brennen and Amanda Mills, and Chris and Deanna Phaneuf for their support of this project.
