Area: Central Pickering
Age Range: 18 months and up
Parking: limited street parking off Beaton Way, plenty of parking in the large lot off of Brock Street (just North of Finch in Brock Ridge Community Park)
Ground Cover: mulch
Main Equipment:
Accessibility Features: talking tubes, storefront and memory matching game
Facilities/Other:
Surrounding Park Area: A small green space beside the park with connecting trail down to Brock Ridge Community Park
Seating: 1 park benches facing the playground
Shade: some shade in the surrounding trees beside the playground
Overall assessment: We like discovering new climbing equipment (like the side of this structure that looks like a stick bug climbing the side of the playground), even if our preschooler can't quite climb it on her own yet. The hammock swing was a hit for both her and mommy (no arm workout for me pushing her)! The storefront was right beside the paved sidewalk and in front of the bench which made it easy to play store from a short distance away. This is a cute tot lot which is so close to Brock Ridge Community Park that you could try park hopping just like we do!
