A fun place to go to in Heisler. The playground has been a stopover for

travelers young and not so young. Bus loads from far and wide have been

spotted enjoying a break on the playground equipment. Lately Camrose

University College enjoyed the picnic tables and pictures with ‘the large

glove’. They were on their way to a neighboring town. Parents with young

children and a babysitter from Donalda with a handful of kids were back to

play for the 3rd time this summer. Grandparents with grandchildren is a

common sight. Yes, grandparents and parents can use the slides. The sand

pile is a highlight for many who prefer this activity compared to the

gravel/stone in many playgrounds.

Thanks again to Brian Sunderman for the big pile of sand to play

on. The village foreman and his summer helper are doing a great job.
