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.

  • Not enough shade

  • Lots of dirt (and mud)

  • Old play equipment

  • Bland and unimaginative
