Area: West Uxbridge
Age Range: 18 months and up
Parking: some street parking off Quaker Village Drive, lots of parking at the Uxbridge Arena & Recreation Centre (it is a 5 minute walk away along Quaker Trail that starts up behind the lawn bowling club)
Ground Cover: sand
Main Equipment:
Accessibility Features: none
Facilities/Other:
Surrounding Park Area: small green space
Seating: 2 park benches beside the park, four picnic tables around the park
Shade: no shade over the playground itself, plenty of shade provided by the trees beside the playground
Overall assessment: This is a quieter playground in the middle of a green belt. If you're planning on walking here from the Bonner Boys Splash Park, or parking at the Uxbridge Arena & Recreation Center, there is officially no path from the area to the start of Quaker Trail behind the lawn bowling club. I was able to push a stroller up the grass to the start of the gravel trail but it was a bit of work. The playground is great for developing climbing skills and balancing skills as there are a lot of different things to walk between. This is also one of the very few playgrounds in Durham Region that we have seen with a firepole! There is also a small stream behind the brush and marsh that you can watch from the bridge beside the playground. It's great for a day out if you plan on hitting the Splash Park too!
