0 Comments

 
Picture
Area: Northwest Whitby

Age Range: infant and up

Parking:
Weekdays: some street parking off of Randolph Ave just across from the playground
Weekends: large
parking lot at Captain Michael Vandenbos Public School on Country Lane beside park

Installed: 2019 *UPDATED Review*


Ground Cover: mulch

Main Equipment:
  • 4 swings
  • 2 infant swings
  • 1 bucket swing
  • 5 slides
  • 1 merry go round
  • 1 music station
  • 2 sand pit diggers
  • multiple rock walls and climbing apparatus

Accessibility Features: bucket swing in the smaller play structure area, music station, lemonade stand, sand scoop station, seats on merry go round
​

Facilities/Other:
  • see Country Lane Park Splash Pad post
  • 2 Baseball Diamonds
  • seasonal washroom (portable potty) by far ball diamond field
  • 1 Soccer Pitch
  • 1 Basketball court

Surrounding Park Area: green spaces, fields, and large shady trees

Seating: three park benches facing the toddler playground, one facing the sand pit with an entire curved rock wall for additional seating, and two facing the splash pad

Shade: shade in morning over part of the toddler structure, surrounding trees offer plenty of shade, and after we visited they were scheduled to install a sun shade over the sand pit (see the tall posts in my pictures)

Overall assessment: With a lot of trees, paths, and open field space, it is easy to make this playground and adjacent splash pad a picnic spot for a day trip! 2019 UPDATE: a lot of new climbing features and accessible features have been added to this newly renovated playground and it is being used a lot my by the younger kids in the community now (so I am told). They also have put in a few Biba Playground App features which include relay races, scavenger hunts, and some augmented reality games so that the kids will WANT to come back to explore this park some more this summer!
