The temporary Big Blue Blocks park is now open all week until the end of summer.

The City of Richmond is inviting kids of all ages to unleash their creativity at the temporary Big Blue Blocks park. 

Children will be able to interact with large, interconnecting pieces of foam blocks to create their own structures for free. 

The hours of operation are from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday to Friday, and from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on weekends. 

Located on the lawn west of the Richmond Cultural Centre Annex, the site will remain open until the end of the summer.

The blocks are lightweight, easy to use and provide a safe environment for children of all ages and abilities to enjoy this experience.

The temporary enclosure will feature woodchip playground safety surfacing, a picnic table and seating for parents.
