Salaberry-de-Valleyfield’s Parc des Mouettes gets a facelift! This phased redevelopment project divides the space by offering specific zones for different clienteles. The vision was to encourage a mix of generations. With a Maison des aînés project including a CPE planned nearby, the interests of children and teenagers had to be considered. This new project represented a complete challenge for the Atmosphäre team, in collaboration with KAP and Jeux-Tec.
The Kompan Cliff Rider: a first in Quebec !
Parc des Mouettes is the very first Quebec project to welcome Kompan’s Cliff Rider. This impressive module trains muscular strength and tension. It represents a physical challenge for children and teenagers, but also a socio-emotional one. Self-confidence, risk management and mutual support are stimulated.
“We’re lucky enough to be the first in Quebec to have developed the Cliff Rider, which I dare say translates as cliff jumping: it’s a play module made up of two towers and a pole that gives the impression of jumping over a ravine. It’s a game that meets the need for thrill-seeking, activity and socialization, because those who don’t succeed on the first try will succeed with the help of their friends.”
Claudia Meloche, Parks and Aquatic Facilities Coordinator, Recreation and Community Services.
The Robinia range: ideal for toddlers
The city of Salaberry-de-Valleyfield wanted a contemporary park that reflected nature. A Robinia mini playground by Kompan was the perfect choice for the toddler zone. What’s more, this range introduces a new way of thinking about the playground by emphasizing the importance of nature in the lives of young children.
Right next door, you’ll also find a combination of various swings, a playground classic.
A fitness zone for everyone
Finally, a fitness area has been added, much to the delight of users. The
smart city bike
and theelliptical trainer by Kompan fitness offer an excellent cardiovascular workout. What’s more, users can modify resistance manually using the touchscreen or by connecting a mobile device and using theKompan cardio app.
