Area: Pickering South
Age Range: 5 to 12 years old
Parking: limited street parking along Rosebank Road
Ground Cover: mulch
Main Equipment:
Accessibility Features: ramp to the top of the slides, play stations beneath the slides
Facilities/Other:
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.
