Let's Build a Playground
We have passed the two thirds mark! Currently we have raised $107,435 of $150,000. Thank you to everyone who has made a donation towards this project!
As many of you know, in June of 2022, our community learned that the playground in Head Lake Park had been closed off by the municipality due to safety concerns.
The Head Lake Park Fundraising Committee was formed to help develop a solution that meets community needs. The committee is comprised of community members who have come together with a common desire to take meaningful action towards the Master Plan for Head Lake Park, and to work together to make it a safe and enjoyable place for everyone in the community.
Our vision is simple: To curate a destination playground that is inclusive and accessible.
The committee has been hard at work – working hand in hand with designers to craft a play experience that provides opportunities for physical, sensory, cognitive, social/emotional, and communicative development. There is approximately 9,000 square feet of playground to be installed this Spring of 2023!
We have secured a $150,000.00 Ontario Trillium Foundation Accessibility grant. Dysart Council has also generously committed an additional $300,000. The total cost of the project is just shy of $600,000 and this is where we need your help.
Our goal is to raise another $150,000.00
Playgrounds are a vital aspect of healthy development both for children, the community, and the local economy. The impacts are vast, and we must do what we can to ensure that it thrives.
Haliburton is growing. We are seeing an increase in permanent residents, seasonal residents, and short-term tourism. This is the perfect opportunity to acknowledge this growth and embrace it. Our community needs to have more to offer, not less. It’s time to kickstart the vision of the Master Plan.
Haliburton deserves this space, and we are looking for your support to make sure it happens.
