Area: Oshawa North
Age Range: infant to 12 years
Installed: Refurbished since 2012
Parking: plenty of parking in the lot behind the Northview Community Centre off of Beatrice Street (there is a large gravel lot behind the main community centre lot)
Ground Cover: mulch
Main Equipment:
Accessibility Features: interactive station
Facilities/Other:
Surrounding Park Area: a small green park space between the Northview Community Centre and Northview Library
Seating: 2 park benches (not facing the playground structures) and 2 benches nearby on the Splash Pad
Shade: none on the playground but some surrounding trees offer a bit of shade, the 2 park benches are under a pergola for a bit of shade
Overall assessment: A great little playground that offers a lot of great unique climbing features including leaf steps! The two rocking airplanes are also unique play structures for the smallest of tykes to enjoy imaginative play. One toddler play structure (age 18 months to 5 years) and one larger play structure (ages 5 to 12 years) offer play for all ages, however, the larger play structure only has one slide that requires climbing skill to reach (not for the younger kids who want to follow the big ones up to play). Also conveniently located right beside the Splash Pad!
