REIMAGINING
Non-traditional play spaces are unique outdoor areas that go beyond the traditional playground. They are designed to encourage people of all ages to play, explore, be active, relax, and connect with others.
These spaces can support both active recreation, such as climbing elements, obstacle courses, outdoor games, and fitness equipment, and passive recreation, such as hammock gardens, nature areas, gathering spaces, interactive art, and quiet places to sit and enjoy the outdoors.
In short, non-traditional play spaces are creative places that bring people together and offer new ways to experience parks and public spaces.
Whether you're thinking about children, teens, adults, older adults, or spaces that bring generations together, we want to know what matters most to you!
Welcoming Week is Wetaskiwin's invitation to connect with nine days of events that bring newcomers and longtime residents together to celebrate what makes this the city we share. Whether you've lived here for decades or just unpacked your last box, we encourage you to come out, meet new friends and enjoy Wetaskiwin.
ABOUT WELCOMING WEEK
Welcoming Week is part of a global movement, marked by communities around the world each September. At its heart it's about belonging, building understanding between newcomers and longtime residents, and reminding all of us that Wetaskiwin is stronger when everyone feels at home here.
From September 9 to 17, you'll find something for every age and interest: family activities, cultural workshops and celebrations, open houses, and dozens of chances to meet your neighbours.

Add in hands-on art, a flower bar, a selfie station and draws every hour, and you've got the one night this fall you won't want to miss.
