Want a New School Playground?
Pleasantside Elementary is more than a school - it’s the heart of our Port Moody neighbourhood.
Our large wooden “big kids” playground, which has served generations of students, is now showing its age.
Together, we’re launching Play on Pleasantside, a community-driven campaign to design and build a new, inclusive playground that inspires imagination, connection, and joy.
The Pleasantside PAC Playground Committee has created the following quick intro to the project (spoiler - there's potential photos of new playground in it!!)
