It’s the perfect way to end the Sorauren Summer Kids Fun series: planting a seed and tending to the garden. Visit the Kids Fun table at the Farmers’ Market on Labour Day, September 6 between 3 – 6:30 pm to meet summer programmer Amanda and get into some gardening.

Take a photo of your handiwork and tag @SoraurenPark on Instagram, Facebook or Twitter for a chance to win a prize from Scooter Girl Toys, our Summer Kids Fun sponsor.

Thanks to everyone who participated in Sorauren Summer Kids Fun over this extraordinary summer. The program was produced by Friends of Sorauren Park and made possible by community donors, sponsor Scooter Girl Toys, and the Canada Summer Jobs grant program. Special thanks to our programmer Amanda Vo and videographer Dion Lynch, and our friends at the Sorauren Farmers Market.

Drop by the Sorauren Summer Kids Fun table at the Farmers’ Market on August 30 between 3 – 6:30 pm, to get creative with arts and crafts. Amanda, our summer program coordinator will have paper, crayons, chalk, glitter and the supplies your little ones need to express themselves. Plus, for fun, some flying disks.

Take a photo of your artwork and tag @SoraurenPark on Instagram, Facebook or Twitter for a chance to win a prize from Scooter Girl Toys, our Summer Kids Fun sponsor.

Get a beautiful high-resolution Park Portrait to capture the moment… and support the Friends of Sorauren Park at the same time. Come as a family, by yourself, with your bestie or with your pet… all configurations welcome!

Send your Park Portrait to friends and loved ones, make it your desktop wallpaper, or (best yet) get it printed and saved for posterity in a frame or scrapbook.

Use our Square account to book your time and make your payment. Appointments are available on Mondays during the Farmers’ Market hours. Our Summer Program Coordinators will respond to confirm your time and answer any questions. Alternate times will be offered if your choice is not available.

The minimum is $25 but donations above and beyond are always welcome and support the park programs offered by the Friends of Sorauren Park.

Thank you… and smile!

Grab some food at the Farmers’ Market this Monday August 2 and join us at the Sorauren Summer Kids Fun table for a crafty Picnic at the Park. Our summer programmer Amanda Vo will have some arts material for household groups to play and create with.

You can win prizes! Take photos of completed creations, and tag @SoraurenPark on Instagram, Facebook or Twitter. There will be a weekly draw for free popcorn, redeemable at the concession stand at the Sorauren Park Outdoor Movies once they start up again (fingers crossed!), plus one grand prize at the end of the summer from Scooter Girl Toys, our Sorauren Summer Kids Fun sponsor.

And check out our other activities to date, Make a Paper Kite, Park Bingo, Rock Painting One and Two, and Paper Cut-Outs.

Visit the Summer Kids Fun Table between 3 – 6:30 pm for hands-on fun.
