Playground Grants and fundraising

We're here to help turn your playground dreams into reality. A lack of funds shouldn't prevent you from building a new park or playground, and that is why we track all of the available playground grants and fundraising opportunities across Canada.

We're here to assist you with your application. We have a team of grant writers on staff that can work with you to craft the best possible application. We can also provide you with pricing and designs depending on the requirements of the grant.

Playground grants and funding resources

Playground and community grants

There are plenty of grants available to you, but only if you know where to look. Unfortunately, there isn't a handy database that tracks all of them.

We want to help you remove as many barriers as possible when it comes to getting your park or playground project off the ground, which is why we've invested the time and effort to compile all the grant opportunities we could find.

We've organized the grants by:

  • Location (city, province, or Canada-wide)
  • Dates/deadlines
  • Grant details
  • Funding amount

To see which grants you may be eligible for, please fill out the contact form with your project details and your local Park N Play representative will reach out to discuss the next steps.

Playground fundraising

In some cases, raising funds from the community and key stakeholders can be the difference between getting your playground built, or not.

In these situations, Park N Play is happy to help you come up with a fundraising strategy. This is on an as-needed basis and not a service we provide to each and every one of our clients.

If you would like assistance in fundraising for your upcoming project, please fill out the contact form with your details and your local Park N Play representative will reach out to discuss the next steps.

What you can expect when you work with Park N Play

When you choose Park N Play as your partner, we'll work together to come up with a plan to take advantage of the grant and fundraising opportunities available to you. We can assist with:

  • Providing a list of the grant and funding opportunities tailored for your specific location and situation
  • Grant writing assistance (*dependent on the project)
  • Pricing and designs included for your application (if necessary)
  • An experienced team that wants to see your project come to life

How do I contact my local Park N Play Representative?

We have Park N Play Representatives for each province. Simply fill out the contact us form and your local representative will reach out!

What should I have prepared before I reach out?

You don't need much. Even if you just have an idea, we're happy to work with you to get the ball rolling.

How much money is available to me through grants?

It depends on your location and specific situation. There is no guarantee that we will be able to secure these grants. However, what we can tell you is that most grants are mid-five-figures, with some going up to a million dollars.

"It was an absolute pleasure working with Shelley and the Park N Play Design team. The professionalism, attention to detail and communication was such a positive and seamless experience. We had a relay tight timeline and Shelley and her crew got the job done. Her enthusiasm for her job is infectious and I would highly recommend Park N Play Design to any other school or community looking to build a park. Thank you again for getting us exactly what we wanted for our school and our students. We are truly grateful.

– Nicole Falcone-Dempsey, Principal

"We recently had Park N Play install a new playground and we couldn't be happier with the end result! The kids are having a blast and the new playground is full every recess. Bob, Dustin, and the rest of the installation team were such a pleasure to work with. They were patient and clear in their instructions, always willing to discuss and explain what was going on, and most importantly, they were just fun to work with. Our Sales rep, Shelley, made sure everything went smoothly. We are so happy with the final result. I am happy to speak positively about my experience with you to anyone who asks! Thanks Park N Play!"

– Colette Lavallée, Director of Education

As the saying goes “you hit the nail on the head”. Excellent job, Park N Play. Please give yourselves a big pat on the back from Heritage Hills Housing Co-op. In addition to the amazing parks you came up with, I would also like to add a thanks for the information you have on your site.

The delivery and installation process went smoothly, and the project schedule from Park N Play was executed perfectly. I am more than satisfied with the completed project."

– Andrew Bialek, Superintendent of Parks

“We chose Tim Aylesworth and Park N Play for our playground structure because of the superb and consistent customer service, the ability to achieve our goal on a fast timeline, and his professionalism in handling all the changes we requested. Tim and his design team put together a playground which is exciting, challenging and engaging. The feedback from the students, teachers, parents, and staff have been nothing but positive! We wholeheartedly recommend Tim and Park N Play. If we are to build another playground I wouldn’t hesitate to have Tim come in and design it!”

– Bonnie deGroot, Playground Committee Member

The quality of service and equipment provided by Park N Play Design is top-notch, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Park N Play Design's services to a friend or colleague."

“Shelley and the rest of the team at Park N Play work as valuable team members on my projects and not only entertain my sometimes crazy ideas, but work with me to make award-winning realities. I need a team that puts in the same excitement, dedication and passion in my projects as I do. Park N Play definitely exemplifies that.”

“The finished product is now one of the most beautiful parks in town in my opinion and from community feedback. From the town’s hassle-free experience with this project, I would not hesitate to highly recommend Bob and his crew at Park N Play for any park design and play structure construction that you may be considering.”

"My best summation of the Kinglet playground would be that it was a great collaboration of playground elements and design intent, along with a flawless installation leading to a fantastic playground and incredibly happy client and consultant."

– Jordan Gulayets, Landscape Architect Manager

"Park N Play and Danica were quick to respond, provided lots of follow-ups, and cared about our experience. This was the best communication I've ever had for a playground project, and it was just a small addition. I've spent over $100K on a playground before with competitors and never got this kind of service."

– Angela Magon, Abbotsford School District

"Thank you very much to you and your staff for an outstanding job on this project.  James, Josh, and Jaimie were exceptional to work with throughout the installation of the playground.  Their dedication to making everything 100% is refreshing to see.  The attention to detail on the install has been as good as any project that I have been involved in over the past 30 years. Great job!!  Please feel free to use me as a reference at any time."

– Steve Davison
