Growing up should not mean growing out of parks. 🛹💬

Teenagers belong in public spaces, too. Not squeezed into leftover corners. Not treated like an afterthought. Not expected to outgrow parks before they have had the chance to make them their own.

That is what makes Jambette’s O-Asis line so exciting! Built for real teen life, O-Asis creates outdoor spaces that feel comfortable, social, flexible, and easy to make your own.

These are spaces for hanging out, moving, resting, laughing, connecting, and belonging.

Because great park design does not stop at childhood. It grows with the community.

Ready to make room for teens in your parks? Parkworks can help bring the right spaces to life.

✨ Manufacturer Spotlight: CXT ✨

Great parks need more than places to play. They need the behind-the-scenes essentials that keep people comfortable, supported, and ready to stay longer.

That is where CXT delivers.

Built with high-strength precast concrete walls and roofs, CXT buildings are made for busy public spaces, changing weather, heavy use, and the everyday demands of parks and recreation environments.🌳

And they don't just perform. They fit the space.

With multiple floor plans, colours, and textures available, CXT makes it easier to add practical infrastructure without losing sight of the overall park experience. From restrooms and shower buildings to concessions, utilities, and multi-purpose spaces, these buildings help communities create outdoor destinations that work better for everyone.

Because when the essentials are built well, the whole park feels more welcoming, functional, and ready for real life!

Today is International Day of Play, and we know exactly how to celebrate! 🛝

Go outside. Visit the park. Take the long way to the playground. Let kids climb, run, swing, spin, imagine, explore, and ask for “just one more slide.”

Play is not a break from growing up. It's how kids build confidence, test ideas, make friends, move their bodies, solve problems, and discover what they can do.

A playground gives that growth a place to happen. A park gives families space to gather, neighbours a reason to connect, and communities a place to come alive.

So today, make room for play! Visit a park or playground near you, stay a little longer, and let the fun do what it does best.🌳✨

📍 Skaha Lake Park, Penticton, BC

Sunshine, lake views, and splash pad magic! 💦☀️

Set steps from Skaha Lake, this vibrant splash pad brings playful energy to one of Penticton’s favourite waterfront parks, with Waterplay features designed for cooling off, jumping in, and making the most of those Okanagan summer days.

Working with the City of Penticton - Municipality, the En'owkin Centre, and the Rotary Club of Penticton, Parkworks helped bring a community space to life that feels joyful, welcoming, and right at home by the lake.

Built for big smiles, busy summer days, and the kind of memories families come back for, Skaha Lake Splash Pad is a project worth celebrating!

Before the ribbon cutting, before the first race to the slide, before the “can we stay five more minutes?” there is a whole lot happening behind the scenes.🛝

A great playground does not simply appear. It starts with planning, coordination, site prep, careful installation, and a team that knows every detail matters.

Crews prep the site, place equipment with purpose, set foundations, prepare surfacing, review details, and check safety at every step. Because these spaces need to be ready for real kids, real families, busy days, changing seasons, and years of everyday play. 🛠️

It's the part most people don't see, but it's the part that makes opening day possible.

Every bolt, base, layout decision, and final check helps create a play space communities can count on, because when the gates open, the fun should feel effortless! ✨

Play has come a long way.

Playgrounds used to ask kids to fit the space. Better playgrounds flip the script. They make space for different bodies, different needs, different energy levels, and different ways of joining in.

That is where inclusive playground design changes everything. 🤸

Ramps open up movement. Sensory-rich features spark exploration. Quiet spaces give kids room to reset. Thoughtful layouts build confidence and independence. Inclusive equipment invites more kids to climb, sway, spin, connect, and play at their own pace.

Because play shouldn't leave anyone waiting on the sidelines.🛝

Read the full blog to explore how thoughtful design can welcome more ages, abilities, and ways of playing.

June is Recreation and Parks Month, and we’re celebrating the spaces that keep communities moving, playing, gathering, and growing! 🌳🤸

Parks and recreation are not extras. They are everyday spaces where confidence grows, friendships start, families reconnect, and people of all ages find room to move, breathe, and belong.

From playgrounds and splash pads to gathering areas, sports courts, and open green spaces, these places shape healthier, happier, more connected communities.

At Parkworks, we’re proud to support the people who bring these spaces to life, from planners and recreation teams to maintenance crews, designers, builders, and community champions. When communities have places to play, connect, and feel welcome, everyone wins.

Happy Recreation and Parks Month! 💚
