参加型プロセスとは、特定のトピックを定義し、決定することを目的とした一連の参加型活動(例えば、最初にアンケートに記入し、次に提案を行い、対面または仮想会議で議論し、最終的に優先順位をつける)のことです。
参加型プロセスの例としては、委員会メンバーの選出プロセス(最初に立候補者が提示され、議論され、最終的に立候補者が選ばれる)、参加型予算(提案がなされ、経済的に評価され、利用可能な資金で投票される)、戦略的計画プロセス、規制や規範の共同起草、都市空間の設計、公共政策計画の作成などが挙げられます。
Calgary's Playgrounds: Equitable Access to Safe and Inclusive Play Spaces
Help identify where playgrounds are aging, missing, or inaccessible — and shape the case for investment in every neighbourhood
このプロセスについて
Calgary maintains over 1,100 playgrounds, but aging equipment, accessibility gaps, and unequal distribution mean not every child has safe, quality play space nearby. This process invites residents to identify where the gaps are and what needs to change.
Play is not a luxury — it is essential infrastructure for child development, community connection, and neighbourhood wellbeing. Yet across Calgary, access to quality playground space is far from equal. Established neighbourhoods often benefit from well-maintained, recently upgraded equipment, while newer communities on the city's outskirts and lower-income areas frequently lack basic amenities or are served by aging structures that have sat on replacement lists for years.
Calgary's own benchmark is five playgrounds for every 1,000 children under 12, but that target means little if the playgrounds that exist are broken, inaccessible to children with disabilities, lack shade in the summer heat, or sit in locations poorly connected to where families actually live. In November 2024, City Council faced a budget decision that nearly cut $4 million from the Parks and Playground Amenities program — a reminder that playground investment is not guaranteed and that community voices matter in defending it.
This process gives Calgarians a structured way to document playground conditions in their communities, submit proposals for upgrades or new installations, and collectively prioritize where investment should go. Your local, on-the-ground knowledge of which playgrounds are deteriorating, which neighbourhoods are underserved, and what design features matter most to families in your area is exactly what this process is designed to surface and amplify.
