Signal Hill Library Outdoor Early Learning Centre
A dynamic and inclusive playground space supporting active play and physical literacy for children of all ages.
Incorporating permanent play structures, imagination spaces, and intuitive design elements that merge the natural and built environments, this space will provide opportunities for children and families to learn through play together in a safe environment, both during and outside of Signal Hill Library’s opening hours.
Safe outdoor spaces inspire active, play-based learning, which helps children build and strengthen their foundational learning skills. These learning opportunities are crucial in building school readiness and lifelong learning.
Thanks to donor support, this space is now open and ready for visitors. Find everything you need to know to plan your visit here.
You can be a part of this transformational project! Your window inscription will leave a lasting mark on Signal Hill Library, helping to create a space that will be enjoyed for generations to come.
