Area: Whitby North
Hours of Operation: 9am to 9pm (seasonal June to September - weather permitting)
Installed: 2007; resurfaced from rubber to concrete pad in 2009 (as the original rubber surface became slippery and unsuitable for play)
Age Range: 2 years and up
Parking: plenty of parking in the McKinney Centre parking lot off of McKinney Drive
Ground Cover: concrete
Main Equipment:
Accessibility Features: wheelchair accessible
Facilities/Surrounding Park Area/Other:
Seating: 3 park benches around the Splash Pad, 3 park benches in nearby covered shelter
Shade: no shade on the Splash Pad, small covered shelter nearby
Overall assessment: A very good Splash Pad for multiple ages and well spaced out for many kids to play. It's in a great location as kids can spend all day here with the McKinney Park playground and adjacent Skate Park right next to the Splash Pad. Parents be on the lookout for sneaky kids trying to spray you with the multi-directional water blaster at this Splash Pad!
