Area: Whitby North
Age Range: 2 years and up
Installed: 2007
Parking: plenty in the designated parking lot off of Twin Streams Rd (to the South of the park), and some street parking on Baycliffe Drive (just be aware of some no parking zones)
Ground Cover: mulch
Main Equipment:
Accessibility Features: music station and talking tubes
Facilities/Other:
Surrounding Park Area: A great big park with a nice jogging path around it (half paved and half gravel) where you will also find the FIT stations.
Seating: 2 park benches facing the playground, 2 park benches facing the swings, 1 accessible picnic table, 2 four seat picnic tables (all with built in chess/checker boards), 2 additional park benches under a weather canopy
Shade: no shade on the playground, some surrounding trees offer a little bit of shade, a weather canopy between the playground and Splash Pad provide shade cover for two park benches
Overall assessment: Baycliffe Park, otherwise known as 'Rocketship Park, is an excellent themed playground for the older kids! (*NOTE the main structure is meant for children ages 5 and up). There are so many places to climb and slide, including up to the two-story tall tunnel slides which are perfect for racing!. There is only one easy access route to get up on to the main playground structure and it is a set of stairs at the opposite end of the rocket, although to get to the tall tunnel slides your tykes still have to know how to climb ladders well. It is nice that there is also a smaller toddler structure for those ages 2 - 5 years, especially if they have older siblings joining them at this playground. There is also a small BMX wavy pathway just behind the splash pad beside the parking lot for the older kids.
