In September 2021, Kaawaate East City Public School opened its doors to a diverse population of over 800 students and staff from the East City of Peterborough and surrounding areas. The Ministry of Education does not fund playground equipment, so the school and students are seeking your help to bring a playground to our beautiful community.
It is up to our school community to raise the funds for the full purchase price of the physical play structure(s), installation costs, ground surfacing, and ongoing maintenance.
Our goal is to build an inclusive playground that can meet the accessibility needs of our diverse Kindergarten to Grade 6 student population, and for this play space to enhance the East City community at large.

Kids need a playground at school to stay active, build friendships, and develop social and motor skills while getting a healthy break from classroom learning.
It’s a shame that with such a beautiful property, the students of KECPS do not have a proper accessible play structure to enjoy. We need a playground!
Can’t believe it’s the communities responsibility to fundraise these playgrounds. Grand scheme nominal part to whole of projects.
No playground equipment at their brand new school. The Government doesn’t fund this part, it’s the communities responsibility. Home Depot should donate it!
Kids deserve to play.
This is an amazing school, and I am in support of funds being used for the new playground.
