Playground

There’s plenty of room at HEARTH for kids to run and play. The playground area is suitable for both toddlers and school aged children and is completed with a bench for our Program Participants to watch their children play.

Sports Court

Offering not only basketball but volleyball, bat mitten, deck hockey and so much more. To the side of the sports court is a large grassy area where kid’s can play kick ball or even soccer. What better way for a family to bond, than through fun sporting activities?
 
These outdoor spaces are so important for the development of children. It gives them a safe place to enjoy the normal activities that children need for growth, interaction, understanding competition and more
