Pemberton Park is at Richardson and Gonzales in Oak Bay and you can find their playground on Richardson, opposite Lawndale Ave.
There is one main play area (on sand)with separate swings- the usual double big kid and double toddler combination and the toddler swings go nice and high, unlike some which have low top bars and short chains. If 'A' had had his way he would have stayed in the swing all day when we visited Pemberton Park. Whoever made this type of playground must have had a large contract with Greater Victoria City for a while because there are so many around that are almost interchangeable and this is no exception; the tower, the plastic curly slide and the wooden ramp. This one has a sweet little touch- a mini picnic table and benches built into the climbing tower and the friends that we visited this park with says that her daughter likes to have pretend tea parties in there.
Whether it's unique or not, I like finding playgrounds like this. There are good grassy areas around, benches, and surprisingly there are washrooms too. Parking was easy on Richardson and there are also lots of shady areas in case it's too sunny for you and your little ones.
My 2.5 year old twins love it. They prefer the old sand base to the newer cedar chip. The only problem, with only one of me and two of them it can be a challenge to keep them from "running away" in at any play ground that is not COMPLETELY fenced in.
