OUR PLAYGROUND STORY
School Playground History
The playground at Collettville Elementary in Merritt, BC is long overdue for an overhaul and expansion. One parent says, “I started as a student at Collettville Elementary 35 years ago, and my children who go to school there now are playing on the same equipment that I played on in grade one! That’s 1983, the year when the very first mobile phones were introduced by Motorola, and when Justin Trudeau’s father was our prime minister!” The playground at Collettville Elementary School is even older than that, or at least we think so; it is so old that nobody even knows how old it is!
School Impact
All of our students would benefit from a wider variety of modern and accessible play structures. Our school’s Parent Advisory Council has been fundraising and applying for grants for several years from provincial, corporate and district organizations to fund a playground, which will cost well over 100,000. Our school has recently secured funding designated to enhance our outdoor spaces with a garden area and shelter, and we have gathering places such as picnic benches and basketball courts. To build on these successes, we plan to enhance the outdoor space with a vibrant playground that will transform our schoolyard into a truly fun, safe, accessible, creative, challenging, and active place to play.
Community impact
The community of Collettville is a small community neighbourhood, separated from the rest of the City of Merritt by the Coldwater River. Collettville has no amenities, recreational facilities or gathering places for the residents of this community. There is no community hall, there are no places of worship, no restaurants, no paved walking paths or sidewalks, no indoor or outdoor sports courts or playing fields, no storefront businesses, no community services, or city playgrounds in this neighbourhood. Collettville school, which provides a sports field, a playground and a school garden, represents the only outdoor green space in the neigbourhood dedicated to play and exercise, health and wellness, and socializing for all ages. We envision the Collettville Elementary playground as a focal point for a vibrant, healthy, well-connected school and community.
We thank you for your support of this important community project!
