Area: Pickering Waterfront
Year Installed: 2003
Age Range: 2 to 12 years
Parking: small lot at the very South end of Liverpool where it dead ends at the bridge to enter the waterfront walkway (*if you want to park in this lot you should arrive by 10:00am on weekends or you will end up street parking before the shops on Liverpool Rd)
Ground Cover: sand
Main Equipment:
Accessibility Features: full ramp access and wheelchair friendly bridge (on larger play structure only)
Facilities/Other:
Surrounding Park Area: A beautiful waterfront boardwalk leading to the waterfront trail system
Seating: many picnic tables and benches on either side of the boardwalk but not that many park benches at the playground itself (*if you want to get a seat or picnic table you should arrive by 10:00am on weekends)
Shade: some over the playground from the built in sun sails, picnic areas further up along the boardwalk and on the beach have plenty of shade
Overall assessment: A great inclusive playground for all ages and abilities. There are a lot of different places to climb and walk up to between both play structures. They are attached to each other with a wheelchair friendly bridge and walking suspension 'bridge'. The sun sails provide the perfect amount of shade coverage for the playground after a day at the beach!
