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