Help Build Leslieville’s New Playground – Together, We Can Do It!
We need your help to raise a minimum of $30,000 by December 31, 2024 to make our dream playground a reality!
Leslieville Junior Public School is partnering with our amazing community to transform the main field with a new playground and improved garden space. We're aiming to raise a minimum of $30,000 by the end of this year, along with funds already raised and contributions from the Toronto District School Board to help replace our ageing play structure. With your support, we can create a safe, fun, and engaging space for our students to enjoy for years to come!
A Once-in-a-Generation Opportunity: The school board updates playground equipment only once every 30 years. This means the playground we build today will be the one that not only our children but future generations will enjoy.

Why Our Playground Needs Revitalization
The existing play structure has served our school community for almost 30 years, but it no longer meets the diverse needs of our students. While it offers some traditional features like a slide and climbing bars, the equipment lacks the versatility and creative engagement that modern playgrounds provide. The limited range of play options focuses heavily on physical activities without much room for imaginative, multi-use, or nature-inspired play.
The current layout is not inclusive for children with varying abilities, and it doesn't align with the latest research on child development, which emphasizes the importance of open-ended, sensory-rich play. As our school strives to create a space where every child can thrive, we need a playground that fosters social, cognitive, and physical growth for all students.
