We are excited to partner for a third summer with the City of Barrie’s Nature Play Trailer for some fun afternoons at St. Vincent Park!
The City of Barrie’s Nature Play Trailer and friends can be found around in parks all around the City, offering free nature-based games and activities for kids and families. The trailer houses a variety of natural loose parts and is a mobile way to connect with the community. Working with partners, the trailer brings environmental education and fun to you!
The Driftwood Garden is a portable, sensory urban agriculture installation that offers hands-on learning opportunities focused on plant care and mental well-being. Throughout the growing season, the garden will be set up at both Painswick Park and St. Vincent Park.
