The sensory garden is coming to life!
By Cheryl LaCasse | Project Leader
With the warmer weather finally arriving, our sensory garden should be fully installed by the end of April. Construction on it has begun! When completed, the sensory garden will be around our labrynth in the park for guests to enjoy.
Musical pieces are also being installed soon. These will go in the playground area and will be accessible by all!
A new art installation will be available to the public once the sensory garden is complete. The Fairy and Troll Doors will be on display around the wooded area in the playground. It will be a magical and enchanting art piece. Many local artists have created their own doors to be around the trees. Each door will be unique to the artist.

The Fraser First Booster Club has installed The Peace Totem Project art installation to the Sensory Garden Path. The totems were made by local artists who donated their time and effort to create these beautiful pieces.
Soon, the Sensory Garden will have planter boxes installed so we are able to add plants and flowers to them. The path in the garden is wheelchair accessible, so everyone can enjoy it.
The Global Motion Climber has been a huge hit with kids and adults alike. Thank you to all of the donors who made that possible!
Keep checking back for more updates at McKinley Barrier-Free Park.

Global Motion
In this unprecedented time, while we all stay safe at home, something big has happened at McKinley Barrier-Free Park. The Global Motion has been installed! While the playground is still closed to the public, this new equipment is being fenced off for the safety of all. The pour and play also still needs to be put in, and we expect that to happen in the coming weeks. This Global Motion is all thanks to generous donors!
As we wait for the playgrounds to be safe again, the Fraser First Booster Club is still taking donations for Phase 3 of McKinley Barrier-Free Park. Whether online, or by mail, monetary donations are always welcomed!
Fraser First Booster Club is also still selling engraved bricks for the Walk of Fame in McKinley Barrier-Free Park. The brick forms can be downloaded at www.fraserfirst.com. This is a beautiful way to pay tribute to a loved one, all while giving back to the community.
We hope to see you soon! Stay safe and healthy!
