Area: North East Pickering
Age Range: 18 months and up
Parking: large parking lot on site at Greenwood Community Centre
Ground Cover: mulch
Main Equipment:
Accessibility Features: none
Facilities/Other:
Surrounding Park Area: small green space
Seating: 2 park benches beside the park, a couple of picnic tables beside the community centre
Shade: no shade over the playground itself, some shade provided in the afternoon from the neighbouring trees beside the playground
Overall assessment: This tucked away playground is a great choice for younger kids who like having the playground and swings all to themselves. With no competition for the rock walls with older kids, our little climber loved scaling as high as she could go and then jumping off (a whopping 2 feet off the ground haha). I also felt comfortable just sitting back and watching her run around without any issue. I did however sit with my back to the grassy hill that leads down to the park road entrance as we did visit with some friends and boy do younger toddlers love running down hills! Eloise gave this park a full one thumb up because she was never asked to share the swings, which are her favourite park equipment currently.
