Being able to play is something that all children and young people should enjoy, regardless of ability.
This is cemented in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) Article 31 (leisure, play and culture) Every child has the right to relax, play and take part in a wide range of cultural and artistic activities.
BRAG aims to enable all children and young people to play and interact with siblings, friends and family, regardless of ability rather than be left sitting on the side-lines.
We want to inspire children and young people to create and drive change in their lives, communities and environment and enable them to retch their full potential
We are committed to improving the life chances of children and young people by enabling positive outcomes through imagination, creativity, community action and play.
"We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing."
George Bernard Shaw
According to UNESCO: Heritage is our legacy from the past, what we live with today, and what we pass on to future generations. Our cultural and natural heritage are both irreplaceable sources of life and inspiration.
The people of Hamilton have had a strong connection and affection for the park for many many years we wish to celebrate the urban history and story telling of the park by local pepol for generations to come
