Wow! This place is fantastic! I went here with my toddler today. The Pirate ship is not only enormous but it's also composed of several steps from different sides. It has stairs(10 steps to get on the ship), ladder, rope-based for climbing, bent steel with round plates, twisted steel from the ground connected to the ship, the tires attached to a plywood slightly slanted, and another steps that's composed of semi-circle rubber attached to a plywood. The bridges on both each sides are terrific bonus too! I mean, the design is marvelous already. You have a variety of choices for going onto the ship and down. The platform has multiple designs as well including a small portion of bridge. There are arches on one end while the other end has the pirate wheel that you can spin. The bottom of the ship has tic-tac-toe, abacus, and free space to run around. Children will definitely enjoy playing here. Even, I enjoy playing with my son. We tried everything in the ship. Lol. That's just the ship itself. Don't forget there is also a mini boat, sand table, dolphin and shark ride(I missed the other 1, there's 3 rides in total), the blue round spin, swings for different group age, and steel bench to sit. There are several bonuses by the way. Outside the Pirate Ship area, Across it is the Splash Pad(Perfect for such a hot day!), Musical area which has lots of musical equipment from drums to chimes, xylophone with metal book with notes written from few nursery rhyme songs, and others I'm not sure what you call them. I definitely enjoyed playing the xylophone following the notes. My son enjoyed it too playing the other instruments I can't name anymore. Meanwhile, another one is the Forest area with trail that we followed through until we got so tired and feeling hot that we need to leave after trying everything. In conclusion, this park has tons of space which is good for walking, biking, picnic, chilling in the sun, relaxing, let the kids run and play, and has 4 areas which you don't need to think of activities for the day if in case, you want to stay there the whole day. It's a complete package for the family. We are certainly coming back here another day for a day adventure. I read the sign, it says Rick Meager Park/Rotary. It also says Not allowed to stay when it's dusk. For the parking area, there are tons of space too, you won't run out. This will be on my list of go to for the Summer from now on. Thank you for taking your time reading my review. I promise you it's worth to spend some time here! Have a great summer...
Read moreLove stopping at this park on our way through the area. We just stopped there today (we normally come in summer but it's currently a mild day in february). Park is closed with a padlock, additional parking by the playground is blocked off with cement blocks. Still says open on Google and no signs suggesting when it would reopen (or when it closes) as I assume it's closed for the season.
The medigas picnic area beside it is open as there is no fence on that and the parking side the picnic area is open and plowed.
Update. We stopped by again in mid November. The playground gate is open but the bathrooms are locked and closed. Not so helpful when you have a kid that needs the bathroom and quick. They really do need signage that states when everything closes for the season. Local or not, I would like to know before arriving so I can...
Read moreNice playground for children aged 2 -13. There is a large wooden structure representing a pirate ship. Great for climbing and games like hide and seek or tag. There is also a large climbing structure made of ropes and other smaller ship/water themed play structures. The whole playground is fenced in, so dogs are kept out. There is a splash pad nearby for hot days and a skate park for older teenagers. There are public washrooms just outside the playground. In the park there are also walking/cycling trails along the river. Great place for an afternoon outside...
