Foresters Financial and KABOOM! partner to build inclusive playspace in Ajax

Foresters Financial™ and KABOOM! have collaborated with the Town of Ajax to create a new inclusive playground at Hermitage Park. Over 150 volunteers joined forces to transform the space, incorporating feedback from local children gathered during a Design Day event in August.

The new playground features accessible swings, interactive games, and handrails. Meeting the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act requirements, the design highlights inclusivity and community engagement.

“As we celebrate our 150th anniversary and our 174th playground build with KABOOM!, our commitment to supporting families and building stronger communities remains as strong as ever,” said Matt Berman, president and CEO of Foresters Financial.

Ajax mayor Shaun Collier expressed gratitude for the transformation, noting that the updated playground will better serve the evolving needs of local families. The playground is set to open this fall.
