It truly takes a village and without the Optimist Club of Blackfalds and Variety Children’s Charity, we were able to create the first fully inclusive playground in Blackfalds. 

Located in Valley Ridge on the corner of Vista Trail and Westbrooke Rd, the new structures offer a unique space to be experienced by children with and without disabilities, create opportunities for breaking down barriers through interactive play, and offer teachable opportunities to see a person before their disability. The playground will soon be accompanied by a new soccer pitch and parking lot in the area.
