Christian Life Assembly (@cla.calgary) received an ActivateYYC grant, and went all out to create a new community park space in their parking lot. They included turf, patio furniture, solar string lights, a beautiful playground set, a full length, basketball court, and even barbecues!
Over 25+ volunteers supported in the efforts, and the group has since seen many more people get connected with their neighbours, as their kids play at the park. When they spread the word about this park project to their church congregation, they were thrilled to see so many people get involved and even donate a variety of materials and items for the initiative. Many hands make light work!
Calgary has an abundance of inactivated parking and green space for new and creative ideas, and it is super impressive to see what CLA was able to do over this summer.
