FAQ?

Some of our Frequently Asked Questions;

​Q: ​Are you associated with any Durham Region Parks Departments?
A:​ No, I am just a local resident who was interested in creating a useful resource for my neighbours

Q:​ How do I find the parks nearest to my location?
A:​ Use the map of your township or area and in the 'Search' bar type your address to pinpoint your location on the map in reference to the closest marked parks, or download the Playground Buddy app

Q: ​Where can I find the latest news on new Park developments in my area?
A: ​Follow us on Facebook, Instagram, or TikTok for regular posts! You can also find this information on your local Parks Department section of their website

​Q:​ Why do the playgrounds look so empty in the pictures? Where are all the kids playing at these great parks?
A:​ I respect the privacy of other children playing at the parks and take my photos very early in the day in most cases. Most popular parks do get very busy and if there are children playing while I am photographing I try to avoid taking any pictures until they are clear of the shot.

​Q: ​When will you have all of the parks in my area mapped, photographed and reviewed?
A: ​Woah! Did you know there are over 350 parks in Durham Region?  Having started this site in 2014 as a hobby, I hope to have as much done as I can manage in the coming years. Are you willing to help? Send me a message!
