Area: Whitby North
Age Range: infant to 12 yearsInstalled: 2007
Parking: plenty of parking in the McKinney Centre parking lot off of McKinney Drive
Ground Cover: rubber
Main Equipment:
Accessibility Features: saucer swing, ramp to music station, arm pedals, accessible monkey bars
Facilities/Other:
Surrounding Park Area: a community park with a bit of green space as well
Seating: 4 park benches surrounding the main playground area, 2 benches by the swings, and 3 park benches in the covered shelter between the playground and the basketball court
Shade: no shade on the playground, but some shade provided by a covered shelter right beside the park
Overall assessment: This is a fantastic playground, especially with the rubber surface to cushion the wee ones when they fall. It is a huge benefit to also have rubber surface on a playground next to a Splash Pad as there are no pebbles or wood chips tracked into the Splash Pad area! There are so many individual play items surrounding the main playground structure that sharing won't be a problem at this playground, although the one saucer swing seems to be a huge hit for all ages. This park has something for everyone with the adjacent Skate Park, making it easy to watch over a group of all ages.
