Shirley Macey Playground

Requesting support for a wheelchair-accessible playground At Shirley Macey Park – 930 Chamberlin Road in Gibsons

see our new site

Why?

There are no public playgrounds in Grantham’s or Hopkin’s Landings, which requires a growing number of families in the area to drive to playgrounds elsewhere.

Many of our playgrounds have a pea-gravel base which is impossible to traverse on wheels. It is important to promote accessibility as we develop our community for the future.

What are we requesting?

We are gathering support for this initiative by collecting monetary pledges throughout the community. The Sunshine Coast Regional District (SCRD) has committed to support the project by providing space, land preparations costs, manpower to assemble the equipment, plus future maintenance. We are turning to the residents of the Sunshine Coast to help raise the rest of the funds.

How much will it cost?

The playground is expected to cost $57,500. We have over $30,000 in pledges to date including:

Dr. E. Papoutsis
Gibsons Building Supplies
Gibsons Rotary Club
Len Wray's Transfer
Local residents
Marketplace IGA Gibsons
Nickle Family Foundation
Patra 2 For 1 Pizza
Rising Sun Holistic Day Spa
Smitty's Oyster House
Success By 6 ® Accessibility Fund
Sunshine Coast Regional District
Super Valu
Wheatberries Bakery
