Description
The Peninsula Parks and Play Spaces Project is an initiative to increase awareness and use of parks and play spaces to help foster the healthy development of young children (0-6 years) and their families. This is a community map - made for and by people living on the Saanich Peninsula, Victoria. The asset and visions data that are included on the map were collected by the community during playground interviews, park visits, and mapping tables at community events. The map serves to increase awareness of local outdoor opportunities for children, their parents, grandparents, and caregivers.
