Ground Cover: sand
Main Equipment:
- 4 swings

- 6 slides
- 1 tunnel slide
- 1 suspension 'bridge'
Accessibility Features: full ramp access and wheelchair friendly bridge (on larger play structure only)
Facilities/Other:
- Splash Pad
- washrooms open from 9am to 9pm (seasonal)

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!
