It’s about living in the moment, but also about creating a legacy for the future.

We embrace the obvious! We believe that play holds the key to happy and healthy lives in our community – here and now, as well as 50 years ahead.

How do we do it? Through play, BPRD engineers a joyous mixture of exploration and discovery – and plants the seed for amazing experiences. We offer opportunities and places to grow and to thrive.

Play for Life brings possibility to all ages in our community, from 1 to 100.

Don’t get us wrong. We take out playful role seriously. We are instigators, planners and stewards, encouraging our community to Play for Life and Live to Play.
