Kool Mom's Bottle Drive for Playground May 8-9th


We want your bottles!!

May 8th and 9th, we will stationed at the entrance of Southfork (HWY 2A & 50th St) waiting for all those bottles that have been collecting dust in basements and garages over the winter. 

Southfork Residents have received letters in their mailboxes about donations. We will be coming around in the next few days to pick up donations, if you wish to drop off your donation you may also do so at the Bottle Drop.




Leduc 40th Rodeo Parade


Saturday May 2nd our group walked in the Leduc's 40th Rodeo Parade to gain awareness and support for our playground. Many people were supportive with waves, hoots and cheering, we assume *nudge, nudge* that those that were cheering us on have already registered through this site to help us on build day. :)

Our kids found it very exciting to be part of the parade experience and grinned ear to ear as they handed out the Kool Aid packs, Water Bottles and T-Shirts to other kids and families calling them over. We really look forward to seeing the size of those smiles on build day when they see the playground that was built with so much support and hard work.

Southfork Playground Development

The Southfork Playground Committee is made up of nine Moms. We have all moved into the a very new Leduc subdivision, Southfork. We would love to have a playground for our children, but it is about more than a playground.....


Beyond the playground we are creating the opportunity for Southfork and all Leduc communities to have a sense of pride and ownership by having the community members involved in the plan
ning, financing, and construction of the playground project. 

During this process we want to bring together current family, neighbors, friends, friends we have not yet met, and futu
re families who move into the area. We are working hard to be a neighborhood 
were everyone is active
ly participating in creating a caring, safe, vibrant, welcoming community 
where people know one another.

Kathy, Vicky, Cahtie, Bonnie, Shannon, Tricia, Sarah, Janis & Shana have joined together to create the Southfork Playground committee.
