Community: North Haven - 1184 Ninga Road NW.

Parking: Free Street Parking

Gordie's Review (17 months): Yay! Wobbly bridge!

Age Range: Proficient walker to 8.

Ground Cover: pea gravel

Features: Medium sized play structure with a preschool slide, twisty slide and wobbly bridge; net and bar climbing structure; 3 swings (2 infant) and a bus play structure.

Surrounding Park Area: Located in a 'L' shaped park at the opposite end from the community centre. Some nice hills and trees. Also has a baseball diamond and in the winter it has an outdoor skating rink.

Shade: Mature trees provide nice shade inside and outside the play area.

Seating: There are a couple of benches by the play area and a couple of picnic tables nearby.

Stroller/wheelchair access: There is only a rough path to the playground. Strollers can easily make it there, but it would be difficult for wheelchairs. There is no access inside the play area.

Overall Assessment: This playground could be a good stop for people travelling along McKnight as it turns into John Laurie (or vice versa). There is nothing particularly special about it, but it would be a good for a picnic lunch and play. It's a decent sized playground with a few feature that make it fun like the wobbly bridge and the twisty slide but is not a destination playground.
