Children and families in Powell River have had limited access to public spaces that encourage both physical play and creative musical expression. Research shows that musical playground equipment not only enhances cognitive and social development but also promotes physical fitness and emotional well-being.

Rotary Club of Powell River purchased and had installed for the hundreds of children and families musical playground equipment in a local regional park. The $15,000 installation, funded by the club and $7,500 from The Rotary Foundation District Grant, is creating a vibrant and inclusive play environment that combines the joy of music and physical activity for children and families as an opportunity for creative expression, learning, and community engagement.

Powell River Rotary partnered with the qathet Regional District for maintenance and upkeep and ongoing support.
