“Playgrounds are a necessary public good that support children’s physical, social and emotional development,” Saskatchewan Parks and Recreation Association President Darcy McLeod said. “This grant helps communities create safe, accessible spaces where children and families can be active and stay connected. Ongoing investment in playgrounds and recreation infrastructure is essential to ensuring communities across Saskatchewan can continue to grow and thrive.”

The opening of the second-year application period was marked at École St. Anne in Prince Albert. The school received $50,000 through the program to develop their new playground which benefits more than 700 students, as well as a daycare and community league that share the space. 

“On behalf of the Board of Education, I could not be more proud of all six of our elementary schools for embracing the Saskatchewan Government Playground Grant opportunity and turning this vision into a reality for students across our division,” Prince Albert Catholic School Division Board Chair Suzanne Stubbs said. “Through incredible planning and collaboration, every one of our Prince Albert Catholic elementary schools now has a brand-new playground structure that will provide students with years of active play, exploration and joyful memories. This investment in our children is truly incredible and will have a lasting impact on the health and well-being of our students.” 

The program has already had a significant impact for the Prince Albert Catholic School Division. St. Catherine Community School, St. John Community School, St. Francis School and St. Michael Community School began work this year, while École Holy Cross and École St. Anne completed their projects in 2025. 

The application period runs from September 16, 2026, to January 29, 2027.
