The film illustrates the results of a city program, started in 1942, to create playgrounds in Montreal. Starting with only 9 playgrounds, the city boasts 100 by 1948, including 15 open-air pools and 17 indoor pools for year-round use. Cost of the program was one million dollars a year. Footage shows a summer of playground activities, including Registration Day, a parade, races, baseball, tug-of-war, other team games, swimming, crafts, slides, swings, story-telling and the gymnastics competition which closes off the summer. Winter footage shows children at the indoor pool, figure skating on an outdoor rink, a boys' hockey game and a toboggan run. <12mn>
