Area: Central Pickering
Age Range: 18months and up
Parking: large parking lot off of Brock Street (just North of Finch)
Ground Cover: wood chips
Main Equipment:
Accessibility Features: none
Facilities/Other:
Surrounding Park Area: huge green spaces, fields, and large shady trees
Seating: three benches facing the playground, additional multiple picnic tables throughout the park
Shade: some afternoon shade over parts of the larger playground structure, plenty of shade from the surrounding trees
Overall assessment: A wonderful park for a picnic, and not only because it conveniently has picnic tables, but also has washrooms! Plenty of parking to meet up with friends, play tag through the trees, and explore the small stream and swamp in the park. Not to mention that there is another playground at the top of the hill above the parking lot (review coming soon)!
