Canada's 150 Coolest Playgrounds

Click here for full map view.
In 2017, nine Playground Writers of Canada collaborated on a special sesquicentennial project to bring you Canada's 150 coolest playgrounds.

There are so many unique cool playgrounds across this great nation that it was difficult narrowing the list down to just 150! We know we probably missed a few neat ones but with so many to filter through we hope that you'll find the 25 featured playgrounds at least to be some of the very best. You can find the featured playgrounds in our map by their star locators, or you can view the entire list of 150 playgrounds here.

Did you know that four of Durham Region's playgrounds made the list? Here they are;
  • Ajax - Audley Rec Centre
  • Beaverton - Foster Hewitt Memorial Park (the new install which we have yet to review)
  • Oshawa - Lakeview Park
  • Whitby - Baycliffe (Rocketship) Park
