Overall assessment: One of the best Accessible playgrounds in Durham! A challenging all inclusive play area with many different pieces of equipment to interact with including a special climbing rock and four seat spinner. This is definitely a playground for the older kids (although our three year old loved it) as little ones would find it difficult climbing the step ladder to reach the slide (but they can always help out at the Dinosaur Dig!).
This park was chosen as one of Canada's 150 coolest playgrounds! |
