Kindergarten PLayground
A safer, more joyful, and more creative space for our youngest learners
Why?
Kindergarten is often a child’s first experience of school. Here at Friends of Pine Forest, we know that play is essential for learning, regulation, and social development
Right now, the space doesn’t reflect the care we have for our kids. Our kindergarten playground should be a place of imagination, safety, and joy.
We believe our children deserve something more beautiful.
The vision
Fresh grass & clover for soft, natural play
Refreshed wood chip areas for safety and durability
Simple, creative structures built from reclaimed and natural materials
Spaces for imagination, movement, and exploration
How we’re doing it
This project is rooted in community.
Many of the improvements will be built by hand, using donated and reclaimed materials wherever possible.
Your support goes directly toward materials, safety improvements, and long-term sustainability.
How you can help
$25 – Helps cover grass and clover seed for play areas

the playground now
Not enough shade
Lots of dirt (and mud)
Old play equipment
Bland and unimaginative
The progress
We spent some fantastic days in the sun right before the end of the school year renovating parts of the playground. The students LOVED it!
summer derailment
Over the summer, the district had to do some plumbing work… right across the kindergarten playground.
So we are starting almost from scratch once again. But we want to make this a great space for our youngest learners!
