About the Parkview Playscape:
In April 2025, we officially opened the Parkview Playscape—a space designed to foster imagination, creativity, and self-guided outdoor play for children. This natural play area encourages kids to explore and move freely in a safe and stimulating environment.
Your participation in the Playful Strides 5K helps us build a more welcoming and sustainable space for all families to enjoy.
