City of Mississauga – Let's Play in the Park (Ontario)

The 'Let's Play in the Park' program began in Mississauga during the summer of 2014. This program was designed to provide a no-fee, no-registration, drop-in style summer play program for children aged 6 to 12, and it continues to be an overwhelming success. Let's Play in the Park emphasizes the importance of physical activity while removing the financial barriers that inhibit many children's ability to participate in organized recreation. The program runs each summer across 14 park locations, providing three hours of daily outdoor play, where children can drop in to play, move, create, and connect through organized games, sports, crafts, theme days, and special events. The PepsiCo Canada Foundation has supported the program since 2015, resulting in approximately 79,000 park visits by children who may not otherwise have had the opportunity to participate in summer recreation programs.
