IT’S a classroom. It’s a library. No, it’s

the new playground!

Capilano school is renovating the playground as
well as the school. They had to rebuild it because it
was in the way of the school renovations and the chil-

dren needed better equipment.

Tt will cost about $60,000 to build it.
Sources say it will be built on the gravel field with
swings, slides, teeter-totters and monkey bars.

“With the continued
explosive growth of soccer on
the North Shore, there has
become a dire shortage of
playing fields,” Wadham says.

The all-weather fields and
the grass fields have potholes
and uneven ground, making it
