Area: East Pickering
Age Range: 2 to 8 years
Parking: large parking lot off of Liverpool Rd (turn into the Pine Ridge High School parking on Hasley Lane and on the right there is a laneway to the parking lot off of the Park field), very little street parking right beside the playground on Bridle Path Circle
Ground Cover: mulch
Main Equipment:
Accessibility Features: lower curb to the mulch, activity station, car teeter rocker
Facilities/Other:
Surrounding Park Area: a great paved path through the park that connects to River Trail off of Valley Farm Rd, a lot of green space, and many sports fields
Seating: 2 park benches at the playground, multi-tiered spectator bleachers at the softball field and the enclosed track/football field
Shade: some shade around the playground from the surrounding trees, no shade over the fields in the park, but the trees along the edges of the park and down further along River Trail offer some nice shady spots
Overall assessment: A great large park to explore and run around with a smaller climbing playground at the south corner. Definitely NOT a park to fly kites in though (safety first since this park is located directly under the power line belt). The paved trail offers a great place to learn to ride bikes down and up hills!
