Magog begins water games build

to a desire of citizens who, in recent years, have often expressed the wish for such recreational infrastructures. Magog Mayor Vicki-may Hamm explains that the main reasons that guided council to choose Parc des Hautes-sources.

"It's a neighborhood park in a very family-friendly neighborhood, with a primary school, a CPE and several child care centers nearby," she says.” A lot of children will be able to enjoy it. It is also one of the parks that had been targeted by the public during the consultation process as part of the revision of the Master Plan. It is a large green space with many recreational and sports facilities and a magnificent view of Mount Orford."

For the project, the Town also sought the opinion of children particularly, the students of Saint-pie X primary school and the children of the CPE La Pleine Lune, as the Parc des Hautes-sources is part of their immediate environment. The theme of the African Savannah was adopted unanimously.

Although the games can be enjoyed by all, the different modules are aimed especially at the 0 to 5 and the 5 to 12 year old brackets and can be adapted for people with limited mobility.

In addition to amusing and refreshing children, the games also have educational purposes, such as sensory experimentation, visual stimulation, development of imagination, creativity, as well as encourage interaction among young people.
