An important goal of City Council is to foster strong community ties among residents in the City of Langley. Neighbourhood safety is a team effort and it is evident that when residents work together to improve community safety it results in a crime reduction. City Council mandated the Crime Prevention Committee to develop strategies that will encourage residents to get involved and take an active role in helping to prevent and reduce crime in our neighbourhoods. 

The Langley Adventure Playground is a pilot project that promotes unstructured play in nature. Children ages 5-11 are welcome to explore, build, and learn how to engage in adventurous play at Portage Park. This is an unsupervised park, and although there are 2 park attendants present at all times parents and caregivers are asked to stay in the area to support their children when needed. It is encouraged for parents and caregivers to stay outside the fence but are welcomed to come inside if necessary.
