Turns out, the Langley team is just as competitive at co****le as they are good at what they do! 😎🏆

Our first MAKR Mixer of the summer brought the Langley crew and their families together at Walnut Grove Park for good food, sunshine, plenty of laughs, and a co****le tournament that kept everyone on their toes.

No meetings. No agendas. Just a great crew spending some quality time together outside the office.

One MAKR Mixer down, with plenty more summer fun to come. Next stop? Stay tuned! 👀🎉

Great weather. Great food. Even better people! ☀️🍔

A huge thank you to our FUN MAKRs for firing up the grill and hosting today’s BC Day BBQ at the Kelowna office! It was the perfect opportunity to step away from our desks, enjoy some burgers and hot dogs and spend time together before the long weekend.

We build some pretty incredible things, but an incredible team might be our best build yet. 🎉😎

Meet Waterplay! 💦

As one of the brands that make up the MAKR Group, Waterplay brings the joy of aquatic play to communities around the world.

Waterplay’s story began at the Expo ’86 World Fair in Vancouver, BC, where the joy of kids playing in the UFO H2O fountain exhibit sparked an idea that would grow into one of the world’s leading splash pad manufacturers.

With more than 38 years of aquatic innovation, Waterplay designs and manufactures splash pads, aquatic play features, and water management solutions that bring parks and public spaces to life. With offices in Kelowna, BC and Sydney, Australia, the Waterplay team has helped create thousands of playful, inclusive splash pad experiences in communities around the globe.

Innovative by nature and playful by design, Waterplay continues to prove that a splash pad can be so much more than a place to cool off. It can become the heart of a community!

Downtown Kelowna just levelled up! 🚲

The Parkworks Pump Track has rolled into Meet Me On Bernard, bringing big energy, all-ages action, and a whole new way to move through the heart of the city.

Bike it. Scoot it. Roll it. Cheer from the sidelines. However you join in, this is what happens when everyday spaces are reimagined for more play, connection, and fun.

Catch it on Bernard this summer and take it for a spin!

🚲✨ Meet Us On Bernard! ✨🚲

From open space → active place.

This summer, the Parkworks Parklet is transforming downtown Kelowna with a modular Parkitect Pump Track, bringing movement, play, and connection right into the heart of the city.

Whether you're on a bike, scooter, roller blades, or just stopping to watch the action, it's proof that extraordinary community spaces don't always require permanent infrastructure.

A temporary installation. A lasting impact. If you're downtown this summer, stop by, give it a try, and experience it for yourself!

Pride reminds us what stronger communities are built on: courage, care, belonging, and the freedom to show up as yourself.

This month, MAKR Group proudly celebrates the 2SLGBTQI+ community and the people, stories, and perspectives that make our workplaces and shared spaces brighter, bolder, and more inclusive.

As we create places for play, connection, learning, and growth, we’re committed to building with everyone in mind, because everyone deserves to feel seen, respected, and celebrated. 🏳️‍🌈✨

Happy Pride Month from all of us at MAKR Group.
