Help us raise funds to make this Dream a Reality- Uxbridge Lions Universal Playground. In the Summer of 2023 a new family-friendly playground officially opened in Elgin Park in Uxbridge. Children, young people and adults can enjoy this unique playground which will incorporate sensory music play, and various pieces.
Would you like to see more equipment in our new playground? There is still room to add equipment to build upon the playground and make it more enjoyable.

Help Us Create a Totally Accessible Playground in Elgin Park
The Uxbridge Lions Club, with the support of the Township of Uxbridge, sponsors and other volunteer organizations, is working to build a new playground area in Elgin Park.
This new playground will replace an existing older structure at the side of the paved path opposite the newer playground in Elgin Park. It will be an accessible playground that everyone can enjoy.
What you can do to help us create this wonder adventure for you and your family in Elgin Park:
-
Read more on our website and donate towards the playground or donate or sponsor towards a play feature.
-
Organize a fundraiser at work or in your neighbourhood.
-
If you have a business that you could donate some of the items (rocks, benches, flowers, etc.) seen in the renderings or video.
We are pleased to announce that our club has been awarded the
Accessibility Award by Durham Region.
