Richmond's Big Blue Blocks

Access

About

Design, stack, imagine and invent at the City of Richmond’s Big Blue Blocks outdoor play area, featuring a broad array of light weight large foam building blocks. Located on the lawn west of the Richmond Cultural Centre Annex (7660 Minoru Gate), this interactive and free play experience invites adventurers of all ages to unleash their creativity through until the end of summer. From towering castles to imaginative forts — the possibilities are endless using more than 150 foam pieces.

The fenced enclosure with woodchip playground surfacing, offers a safe and engaging environment and the 20 x 20 foot pop up shelter and shaded picnic tables provide seating for parents, caregivers and tired builders.

The blocks are available to use within the red fenced area from 10:00am to sunset Mondays through Fridays and from 11:00am to 4:00pm on weekends, weather dependent (not available on rainy days).
