Apply for the School Playground Equipment Grant

Schools can once again apply for funding through the School Playground Equipment Grant as applications for the second year of the program opened on September 16, 2026. 

Introduced in 2025, schools can receive up to $50,000 in matched funding to build new playgrounds or update existing equipment. The government is providing $3.75 million each year for four years to the program, which has already helped 94 schools throughout the province. 

We are grateful to continue to administers the program on behalf of government.  

"Playgrounds are a necessary public good that support children's physical, social and emotional development," Saskatchewan Parks and Recreation Association President Darcy McLeod said.

"This grant helps communities create safe, accessible spaces where children and families can be active and stay connected. Ongoing investment in playgrounds and recreation infrastructure is essential to ensuring communities across Saskatchewan can continue to grow and thrive." 

The application period runs from September 16, 2026, to January 29, 2027.
