0 Comments

 
Picture
Area: North Ajax

Age Range: infant and up

Parking:  some street parking on Bellinger Drive and off of the nearby side streets
weekends: Vimy Ridge public school parking lot off of Telford Street

Ground Cover: mulch

Main Equipment:
  • 3 metal slides
  • 4 swings
  • 2 infant swings
  • 2 rock climbing walls
  • 2 small animal rockers
  • 1 log roller
  • 1 circular monkey bars

Accessibility Features:
 none

Facilities/Other:
  • 1 soccer pitch
  • seasonal portable washroom

Surrounding Park Area: A soccer field with a bit of surrounding green space and some smaller trees

Seating: 3 park benches facing each other under a shaded pavilion, 1 park bench facing the larger play structure, 1 picnic table hiding in the middle of the trees

Shade: none over the playground itself, but some under the shade pavilion, and some in the surrounding trees

Overall assessment: We like parks that have a lot of climbing apparatus and this one delivered for our kindergartner. The log roller though posed a challenge as her arms aren't quite long enough to grasp both sides, and going it solo was a bit too scary (she almost face planted).  Circular monkey bars always look so fun to me, but not when I am still helping the kiddo reach them. This park also has a bike rack which is convenient for older kids using the field.
