Amberlea Park

Picture
Area: West Pickering

Age Range: 2 to 12 years

Parking:  large parking lot off of Rosebank Rd, some street parking off of Braeburn Cres

Ground Cover: mulch

Main Equipment:
  • 3 slides
  • 1 swings
  • 1 infant swings
  • 1 rock climbing wall
  • 1 climbing apparatus
  • 1 airplane rocker

Accessibility Features: none

Facilities/Other:
  • Splash Pad *NEW 2016*
  • softball diamond with night lighting
  • soccer pitch
  • large open field
  • seasonal washrooms

Surrounding Park Area: large green field for picnics in the park

Seating: 2 park benches

Shade:  no shade over the structure itself but some surrounding tree shade around the park and over both benches (late in the morning and early afternoon)

Overall assessment: A smaller park, but still with a lot to offer especially with the very large double sided rock climbing wall! And the brand new 2016 Splash Pad makes it a great destination park for a picnic out with family and friends. Even though it is a bit of a walk from the Rosebank Rd parking lot around the softball diamond to get to this park, it is likely easier since it offers more parking once the splash pad opens.

To the far right is the parking lot. Follow the path to the playground and splash pad behind the trees behind the ball diamond. It's a 5-10min walk with toddlers.

Wondered if the parking lot could be paved? Lots of potholes and when it has precipitation is a mud lot. Could you please let me know if anything can be done, please, I use the park on a daily basis.

Please contact the municipal office responsible for the parks directly (in this case the City of Pickering) as we do not work for anyone in Durham and are just a local blogger. Thanks

Hi Linda, we like this park too. To provide feedback to the city about their parking lots you will have to contact them directly as unfortunately as a local blogger we don't have much impact in actually changing anything ourselves.
