Wark Commons is a tiny little piece of land at Kings Ave and Wark St, that has obviously been built and maintained with love. With a wrought iron sign and gardens around the edges, half of the common is taken up with a playground, the rest made up of grass and trees.
For a small playground, the climbing structure is surprisingly big. It is in two main parts linked by a climbing bridge and features wooden ramps, a tunnel, a couple of towers, a variety of things to climb up and a plastic curly slide. Separate from the climbing frame there is a single swing combo- one toddler, one big kid and the whole lot is on a sand base. This is obviously a playground with local regulars and on a sunny afternoon you'll find a few sunbathers lounging on the grass.
There are not any other facilities here but because the playground is smack dab in the middle of Quadra Village it's easy to park, find washrooms and if you need a pick me up you can go next door to Cafe Fantastico where you'll find debatably the finest coffee in town.
