Pleasantside Elementary is more than a school - it’s the heart of our Port Moody neighbourhood.
Our current playground has served generations of children, but it’s 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 Goal
The Goal
Raise $200,000 to design and build an inclusive, safe, and sustainable playground that reflects the imagination and needs of Pleasantside Elementary’s students and families and to serve our local community.
