Live 5-2-1-0 Playboxes have shared games and sports equipment that children and families can borrow to enjoy active outdoor play! These colourful boxes are located in parks and green spaces in many communities around BC and are free for families to use - just remember to return the items when you're done so other families can enjoy them too!
Since Abbotsford launched the first Live 5-2-1-0 Playboxes in October 2014, this innovative approach to promoting healthier community environments spread rapidly across the province. Communities throughout British Columbia installed their own Playboxes and continuously develop unique adaptations and improvements.
For more information on the Live 5-2-1-0 Playbox concept download the Live 5-2-1-0 Playbox How-to Guide from our Resource Hub.
Live 5-2-1-0 Playboxes are community-owned and locally managed.
If you have questions about one in your area, we recommend reaching out to your local community centre or recreation department for more information and support.
Below is a list of the locations of Live 5-2-1-0 Playboxes in communities across the province (click here to view the Playbox locations using Google Maps). While we do our best to keep this list current, please note that some Playboxes may have been relocated or removed.
