Area: Central Whitby
Age Range: 18months+
Parking: large parking lot off of Jeffery Street
Ground Cover: mulch
Main Equipment:
Accessibility Features: 2 bucket swings, musical instrument stations, play ship with navigational tools, sand digger
Facilities/Other:
Surrounding Park Area: Surrounded by large fields and connected to walking paths this is another great park to keep you entertained all day
Seating: 4 benches around the playground, very long concrete bench surrounding one corner of the playground space by the accessible swings, 3 two person picnic tables under the shade sail by the splash pad
Shade: shade sail over the splash pad picnic tables, there could be a shade sail over the sandpit (the posts were there when we visited, but the sail was missing)
Overall assessment: A new favourite themed park for us because of the amount of creative ship play! The number of navigational features and unique creative play elements incorporated to make this ship part of the entire structure allows more than one or two kids to interactive with this creative play theme! Add to this the awesome splash pad, splash pad run off creek, and surrounding fields and you've got yourself an entire day outing in one place! The portable washroom is a bit hard to see (as it is on the other side of the parking lot from the splash pad and playground) but it is a big bonus to have parks with washrooms in our minds.
