Area: South Whitby
Hours of Operation: June to September from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., weather permitting
Age Range: all ages
Parking: small parking lot off of Portage Trail (intersecting with Channel Drive)
Ground Cover: cement
Main Equipment:
Accessibility Features: wheelchair accessible
Facilities/Surrounding Park Area/Other:
Seating: 3 park benches beside splash pad in shade pavilion
Shade: shade structure over three park benches between playgrounds and splash pad, some shade in the surrounding trees
Overall assessment: Enjoy a day trip to this splash pad with a toddler play structure, larger play structure, plenty of swings, lots of picnic spots (bring your own blanket), and seasonal washrooms. There is more than enough parking to meet up with friends, play tag through the trees, half court basketball, or baseball. 2018 UPDATE: This is now our favourite park for our toddler as the splash pad is easy to navigate and the new rubber surface at the playground is perfect for the little one! The sad thing to note is that last year the cement on the splash pad was freshly painted but it seems that already it has worn off and this year it looks run down a bit, but that didn't stop the kids from having fun! We also added a video!
