Area: Northwest Ajax
Age Range: infant and up
Parking: some street parking on Horne Ave
Ground Cover: sand
Main Equipment:
Accessibility Features: talking tubes in the sand of the larger play structure area (so not very wheelchair accessible with the sand)
Facilities/Other:
Surrounding Park Area: A small green space around the playground, and a small field behind the splash pad
Seating: 1 picnic bench in the shade pavilion behind the toddler playhouses, three curved benches facing the playgrounds closest to the infant swings
Shade: none over the larger playground, some late afternoon shade over the smaller playground playhouses, and a lot of shade in the surrounding trees
Overall assessment: A great park for multiple ages. The playground mansion (because it is the largest park playhouse we have ever seen) is perfect for toddlers and younger kids. The sand in the toddler playground area is finer and has less rocks than the larger playground side (we suspect it had a fresh dump of new sand this year) and with the new splash pad right next to it, makes the perfect combination for sandcastle building when the kids are tired of sliding, swinging or climbing. It's a great local park and has amazing grassy shaded areas in the trees for picnics too! I just wish there was a seasonal washroom here when we visited....maybe next year?
