Celebrating Parks Day: Everyone Outdoors Together Food & Park Visioning

Art Borups Corners is hosting a community BBQ and participatory park visioning event at the Dyment Recreation Hall in Borups Corners as part of Everyone Outdoors Together, a national initiative led by the Canadian Parks and Recreation Association (CPRA) for Parks Day, July 18, 2026.

Everyone Outdoors Together invites people across Canada to step outside on the same day, share time in their local greenspaces, and take part in a shared national moment rooted in parks, recreation, and community connection. In Borups Corners, this national invitation becomes a local gathering at the Dyment Recreation Hall and its surrounding greenspace.

The evening centres on a community BBQ where people can eat, listen to music, and spend time together outdoors in an open, informal setting. The pavilion and greenspace function as one shared public space where gathering, food, and activity flow together.

Alongside the BBQ, participants are invited to take part in hands-on creative activities including drawing, mapping, and storytelling. Through these activities, people contribute to a collective understanding of how local parks and greenspaces function today and how they can evolve into more useful, inclusive, and engaging public spaces shaped directly by community input.
