New Playground at Parkview Elementary

On May 6, 2026, students at Parkview Elementary School were welcomed to an exciting new addition to their school grounds with the official opening of a new playground. The playground, which features modern play structures, slides, and nature‑inspired designs, was opened for use and is already generating excitement among students.

The playground was made possible through generous community support, with the District of Sicamous donating the play structure and the Parkview Parent Advisory Council (PAC) raising funds to cover installation costs. The school community also extends sincere thanks to the SD83 Operations Department for their work in preparing the ground for the play structure. Additional funding was provided through the generosity of the Shuswap Community Foundation, the Sicamous Legion, and a Parkview family.

The project reflects the strong partnership between families, staff, and the broader school community in enhancing outdoor learning and play spaces for students. School staff expressed appreciation for the dedication and fundraising efforts of the PAC, noting that projects like this would not be possible without community involvement.
