New playgrounds

A new children's play area is being constructed next to the existing one at Brentwood Park Elementary School.  Although it may not look any different from other play areas at the moment, this one is particularly special.  The Brentwood Elementary School Parent Advisory Council raised funds to build a barrier-free playground that will allow children with disabilities to enjoy themselves when outside for recess or lunch.

Speaking of new play areas, I recently noticed that a brand new play area has been built at the southeast corner of Beecher Park.

Brentwood Park Kindergarten buildings in place

The new Kindergarten buildings at Brentwood Park Elementary School were put in place in late May.  The prefabricated buildings will be put to use this fall when full day kindergarten classes begin in the Burnaby School District.

Brentwood Park Elementary Expansion

To make space for full-day kindergarten beginning in September, the construction of the new kindergarten space has begun on the eastern side of Brentwood Park Elementary School.  Work crews have laid the foundation for the new portables that will house the kindergarten classes.  Construction is scheduled for completion by this summer.
