Legacy of Play: Reimagining the PQ Playground (Reimaginando el Parque Infantil PQ)

Hi, Thanks for checking out this page!

We're looking to you to help us reimagine Tercentennial Playground, because the playground is for you and your family to enjoy!

We have an early concept of the new playground, based on the results of the surveys on this page!

What’s PQ Play Day All About?

PQ Play Day is a celebration of play, community, and giving back. This family-friendly field day is filled with color runs, classic games, silly challenges, music, food, and smiles—all in support of building a new playground at Poquonnock Plains Park, Oct 4 10-1.

Celebrating PLAY

Play isn’t just a break from learning or chores—it’s how children develop physically, emotionally, and socially. It builds resilience, teaches cooperation, encourages imagination, and supports mental health. Even adults benefit from play: it helps reduce stress, build relationships, and spark joy. A playground isn’t just a park feature—it’s a public commitment to wellness, equity, and connection. By supporting PQ Play Day, you’re helping create a vibrant, inclusive space where kids can be kids, and families can thrive together.

Our Goal Statement:

How can we reimagine the aging Tercentennial Legacy playground at Poquonnock Plains Park with a state-of-the-art, fully inclusive park renovation that is able to handle climate stresses and:

Encourages safe and inclusive outdoor play for toddlers to teens;

Celebrates creativity by integrating art and musical elements;

Provides comfortable spaces for caregivers and family;

Enhances community engagement and inclusivity; and
