Picture
Area: Pickering South

Age Range: 5 to 12 years old

Parking:  limited street parking along Rosebank Road

Ground Cover: mulch

Main Equipment:
  • 2 slides
  • 2 spinners 
  • 1 rope web 
  • climbing apparatus 
  • train noise button (behind the slides)

Accessibility Features: ramp to the top of the slides, play stations beneath the slides

Facilities/Other:
  • train viewing platform

Surrounding Park Area: small green space and nice garden path through the park

Seating: 2 park benches, rock seating wall along the back edges of the playground, and rock seats by the pergola at the top of the slides

Shade: early morning shade provided by the park retaining wall, no shade through the rest of the day on the playground, pergola offers shade for top park bench


Overall assessment: One of Pickering's newer playgrounds that has a fabulous accessible slide!  This is a fabulous park to go if your child likes to watch the trains go past along the train tracks.  The raised seating area provides a fantastic front row seat to the trains passing by. A neat feature (I am told) is the train sound button behind the slides. Sadly the batteries were not yet replaced when I visited in the Spring, but they are checked every year.

This is a lovely park surrounded by greenspace and lots of birds. Fun for active kids who want to run and climb. Cool accessories and, yes, the interactive train feature is fun for kids of all ages (perhaps even adults). Close to the tracks, so train-lovers get a close-up view of Via and Go trains passing by, complete with sounds, including the flashing lights and bells of the crossing. Street parking, so be respectful of the neighbours on the road and try to space vehicles effectively so as to not hinder traffic.
