Park-ticipate at Emerald Park

June 30, 2010

The City of Ottawa has a Park-ticipate program which runs weekdays during July and August. The Park-ticipate program is a free, informal drop-in program offered at various local rural and urban parks throughout the City of Ottawa’s East District. Children aged 4 to 10 are invited to join our highly trained recreation staff in this fun-filled program of sports, crafts and low organized games. website: http://www.ottawa.ca/residents/parks_recreation/seasonal/ss/parkticipate_en.html

So we joined Amelia and Roth as well as Olivia for the Park-ticipate program at Emerald Woods. We made wizard hats and wands, played games and of course enjoyed all the regular playground structures.

Sam tries out the super huge slide.

Christopher enjoyed it too!

Time to go for a car ride!

Hmmm, what's Christopher selling today?

Samantha takes Christopher for a ride on the tire swing.

Christopher models his new wizard hat.

Samantha working hard on her wand. Maybe she can wish for some warmer weather with it!

Time for a game of dodgeball.

Motorbike, motorbike go so fast!...

Here comes the Samantha/Christopher train!

Amelia and Roth check out the slide too.

Christopher and Sam can't decide which way to go!

How many kids can you get on the swing before they get "tired"?
