Area: East Pickering
Age Range: infant to 10 years
Parking:
Weekends - plenty in the Maple Ridge Public School parking lot on Bushmill
Weekdays - limited street parking during school hours
Ground Cover: mulch
Main Equipment:
Accessibility features: wheelchair height music station
Facilities/Other:
Surrounding Park Area: A paved walking path weaving through the school's fields.
Seating: two park benches
Shade: Plenty of morning shade; both benches are in the sun most of the day.
Overall assessment: This playground is set up very well for races for older kids. Toddlers will be able to easily get up low rise steps to three smaller slides. There is an infant swing and a low alligator for little ones to walk around but that's about it. There is plenty of space for a picnic under the surrounding trees. The music station is a bit too tall for smaller kids. The bottom of all five slides face away from the park benches, which means you either trust your little ones skill levels or no breaks for mom or dad!
