Picture
Area: Southeast Ajax

Age Range: 5yrs and up (it's a bit more intermediate)

Parking:  some street parking on Audley Rd S / Hoile Drive (they merge around the curve right in front of this park)

Ground Cover: mulch

Main Equipment:
  • 1 slide
  • 3 swings (1 bucket style, 1 saucer style)
  • 2 hammocks
  • 1 climbing rope structure
  • 2 blue rock climbing walls
  • 2 standing spinners
  • music station

Accessibility Features: music station, hammocks, bucket and saucer swings

Facilities/Other:
  • close to Carruthers Marsh Splash Pad and  Ashbury Park (5-8min walk away)
  • also almost beside the Waterfront Trail Parkette swings

Surrounding Park Area: A small green space around the playground, right on the Ajax Waterfront Trail

Seating: 2 benches right beside the park, large rock retaining wall structure around the playground, and several benches in the area along the Ajax Waterfront Trail

Shade: none over the playground, some shade in the surrounding trees along the waterfront

Overall assessment: This park was built for obstacle course racing! It has two standing spinners that act as great starting points for a team race through the playground. The saucer swing is amazing as it has a beautiful view of the lake off in the distance to the West. Maybe you can catch a sunset here? The best part is that there are more swings across the field behind the park at the Waterfront Trail Parkette, and it's just a few minutes walk away from Ashbury Park and the Carruthers Marsh Splash Pad!
