Students at Black Point All-Age School are enjoying a newly remodelled playground, thanks to a generous donation from local investor. 

Yntegra Group, developers on Rosewood Sampson Cay, purchased and installed commercial-grade playground equipment to enhance the children’s playtime experience.  

The new playground features safe, weather-resistant materials designed for children of all ages, ensuring long-term durability and low maintenance for the community. In addition to installing the new structures, Yntegra Group also repainted the existing playground equipment.

Acting principal Ethenique Rolle said the new playground is a valuable addition for the children of Black Point that will allow them to socialize and foster friendships. “

The kids are able to have a brand new, modern playground, something that the old Family Island schools are really not afforded,” said Ms Rolle. 

“We are truly grateful for this investment in our school that allows our kids just to be kids. This playground will allow them to socialize and foster friendships as they play. Even though we put academics at the forefront children still need that time out to just play.” 

She joked that the new playground will also alleviate the daily disputes between students eager for an opportunity to play. 

“We all know what happens in primary school. We have a population of 51 students and we only had three swings. So, we had that back and forth, I didn’t swing today, someone is taking too long on the swing. Now they can just have fun and swing because there is enough equipment for all of them,” said Ms Rolle.
