Around 3pm, Monday through Friday, the tranquility suddenly bursts in to children's laughter and chatter. No matter the time of year, rain or shine, the Chapel Square playground is always vibrant and energetic late in to the evening. It's a place where children from every age come to play on the slides or chat at the benches, even the adult have a communal beer and cigarette while looking on from a distance. This playground brings the community together, from summer water fights to fall festivals to the neighbourhood Santa Clause handing out presents. Without this area the children would seek other methods of entertainment, some maybe not so harmless. There is always an adult to watch the children, and it makes for a safe, special and bonding environment for young and old. The seasons are ever changing but the laughter, at every 3pm, remains constant.
