Area: Whitby Waterfront
Age Range: 5 to 12 years
Parking: plenty in the parking lot off of Water St
Ground Cover: mulch, and recycled rubber materials under the spinning apparatus
Main Equipment:
Accessibility Features: ramp (but limited access to the play structure as it does not reach either slide at all), music station, saucer swing
Facilities/Other:
Surrounding Park Area: located on the beautiful waterfront trail and right next to a small park with green space
Seating: 5 park benches around the playground, multiple park benches and picnic tables are scattered throughout the surrounding park
NOTE: BBQs are only permitted when you reserve one of the two large picnic shelters through the Town of Whitby office
Shade: morning shade on the playground and some shade provided by the surrounding park trees in the afternoon, and picnic tables within the trees offer all day shade as well as those within a picnic table weather shelter (which also have small outdoor BBQs; bring your own fuel)
Overall assessment: A great climbing playground for bigger kids! There are multiple rock climbing surfaces and a rope course for creative climbing. The smaller slides require some agility to get over the spaced ladder bridge (off of the ramp which doesn't make it a very accessible slide). This is also a great park for swinging with so many swing options. (*NOTE the swings are a bit further away from the main play structure so if you have kidlets that will play separately it's a good idea to bring extra friends or supervisors along.)
