We were droving around aimlessly the other day trying to find somewhere with a breeze to escape the humidity and stumbled across a little park on the corner of Linden and Chapman in Fairfield. Yes, 'stumbled' across another playground...fancy that!
The park itself is really a large grassy field with a few trees that gave us nice shade. There is a picnic table and on a woodchip square there is a nice little playground. There are two big kid and two toddler swings and a ship shaped climbing structure. This is small and probably wouldn't provide much excitement for the bigger kids but our pre-schooler, 'A' loved it. There are a few climbing options up and down including steps onto the ship 'deck' that features two metal slides down. I still maintain that it's a pity that no one seems to have invented metal slides (which are the best) that don't get hot in the sun because these were too hot to use- mind you that's not an issue for 99% of the year in BC! Underneath the deck there is the 'inside' of the boat where the little ones can run about and climb through windows. The whole climbing frame has a pirate theme including a treasure map activity wall in the bow.
This isn't a flashy or challenging, but it is a nice neighbourhood playground that makes a nice stop-off en route to the breezy sea-front.
hi there, warm greeting from Bali ^^
