Enter to win the revolutionary Expression Swing for your community!
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
By now, you’ve probably heard of GameTime’s Expression Swing, the industry’s first swing that allows parent and child to swing together. If you aren’t one of the 4 million people that viewed it on Facebook, watch the video below to see what you’ve been missing!
This revolutionary swing that promotes intergenerational play as adults and children swing together, face to face, has created such a buzz in the U.S. that communities everywhere are installing a swing of their very own.
Now it’s Canada’s turn to see play in a whole new way! As the exclusive GameTime representative for all of Manitoba, Ontario, NWT, Nunavut and the Maritimes, Play! by Crozier is busy installing Expression Swings in local parks and playgrounds.
TORONTO - September has been an exciting month for Toronto’s Ledbury Park Elementary and Middle School, as they kicked off another school year and celebrated a major milestone with the grand opening of the school’s new playground.
A crowd of students, families and community supporters cheered on during September 17th ribbon cutting ceremony, as special guests City of Toronto Councillor Christin Carmichael Greb, TDSB Superintendent Peter Chang and Trustee Jennifer Arp, Vice Principal Mrs. Sarkissian and the Playscape Redevelopment Committee – Marcel Weider, Sherri Glassberg, Kyle Greenspan and Jeremy Jacobs, proudly declared the playground officially open.
It took 2.5 years to bring the Ledbury School Playscape Project to life. Even with a sizeable grant from the TDSB, there was still a shortfall. Thanks to the success of the Playscape Redevelopment Committee’s brick-by-brick campaign, the remaining funds were raised in less than one school year.

Communities Get Healthy & Have Fun with Challenge Course!
As obesity in Canada continues to be a growing concern, the challenge of finding new ways to inspire ALL ages to be more active remains. Young children get their daily dose of exercise on the playground, while adults head to the gym or stay outdoors on a GameTime GTfit Adult Fitness Park to stay fit.
But what about the older children? You know, the teenagers with their heads buried in their phones and little (or no) motivation to get moving. Physical inactivity among youth is a major problem, but GameTime, a pioneer in the commercial playground and outdoor fitness industry since 1929, believes they have a solution with Challenge Course by GameTime.
Challenge Course is GameTime’s exclusive response to the fastest-growing segment of outdoor recreation: challenge and obstacle races. Instead of watching American Ninja Warrior (a widely popular sports entertainment show where contestants compete obstacle courses) behind electric devices, Challenge Course encourages people to get out and compete themselves.
See how Challenge Course brings the American Ninja Warrior experience home!
Why Challenge Course?
It’s the perfect way to encourage multi-generational fitness and recreations. It hits on our competitiveness at the right level- kids want to beat their time – so they will come back to use the equipment again and again. Meet. Compete. Repeat.
Meet. A place that connects people of all ages to socialize with family and friends.
Compete. Encourage active lifestyles for all ages and ability levels, and reverse the obesity epidemic.
Repeat. Increase park utilization, maximize green spaces by creating a destination people come back to again and again.
Change Your World with Challenge Course:
