Spare Parts Adventure Society is back with another pop-up playground event this weekend.
The fun takes place Sunday, Sept. 9 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Grimston Park.
A pop-up playground gives kids the opportunity to use donated “spare parts” such as fabric, PVC pipe, boxes and tires to build their own playground. Volunteers are on hand to supervise and assist in cutting, but parents are encouraged to step back and let their children create on their own.
The first Spare Parts pop-up playground was held in 2016 at Tipperary Park. Children at that event, and those since, have created forts, boats, tire swings, skateboards, mini-golf courses and more. The activities are free for all and are barrier-free, open to children of all ages and abilities.
Another pop-up playground will follow on Thursday, Oct. 4 in Tipperary Park alongside the New Westminster Farmers Market.
