White Rock Elementary’s playgrounds have new monikers, after students were challenged to come up with aquatic-themed names to distinguish the equipment.

The newest structure – installed last summer with support from the Rotary Club of White Rock, Peace Arch Hospital Foundation Healthy Communities Grant, The City of White Rock and Forge Properties – is now the ‘Orca’ playground, while ‘Atlantis’ was the name chosen for the older equipment.
