6/14/2018

0 Comments

 
Picture
Area:   Southeast Pickering

Age Range: best for 5 to 10 years

Parking:  limited street parking on Commerce Street (East of Liverpool)

Ground Cover: mulch

Main Equipment:
  • 3 slides (1 twirly)
  • 1 teeter rocker shark
  • 1 monkey bars climber
  • 1 standing spinner
  • 1 low hammock (like a swing)
  • 1 periscope and 1 ship's wheel

Accessibility Features: low hammock, bow of the 'ship', and small store on the backside

Facilities/Other:
  • basketball court
​
Surrounding Park Area: a nice small field behind the playground with a path that will eventually wind between the new development

Seating: 2 park benches in the shaded pavilion, 1 park bench facing the basketball court (first time we have ever seen this!), and 2 park benches at the back of the small field behind the playground

Shade: no shade on the playground, some shade provided by the shade pavilion in front of the park


Overall assessment: A cute ship themed playground for Pickering close to the waterfront (walking distance). With an accessible ship bow, ship store (on the backside), upper wheel and periscope, this playground is meant for imaginative exploration. Perhaps there may be a geocache to discover in the adjacent park space one day!
