Crickle Creek — Local services in Corman Park No. 344

We took the kids to Crickle Creek on June 30th because we wanted to take them to do something fun outside, we arrived around 2pm and within 3 minutes of the kids playing their socks were absolutely soaking wet and so were their bums.. So the kids had to go barefoot on bouncing castles that looked like they haven’t been cleaned off in years which brings in a whole new layer of health issues with the amount of children that were running through their barefoot as well. Not to mention after we had to take my stepdaughters socks off, she kept getting friction burns on her ankles when going down the slides. The mud on them was so glued on it has became part of the Bouncy Castles.. I understand rain happens and so does wind but I don’t think it’s to much to ask that the bouncers get swept out, and spot mopped every few days just to get out the old dirty leaves and the stale water that is in the shade and can’t dry. When we got home, the tub water from my kids washing off was brown. I personally feel they should warn you when paying if they bouncer are still wet from rain that came 3 days prior.. the reason we went on the Sunday instead of the Saturday was because we thought it would be dry by than. Hugely disappointing and definitely don’t think we will be bringing the kids back anytime soon which is also disappointing and disheartening because I truly feel if the up keep was better the kids would...

Crickle Creek is a fun place for kids to play. We’ve come here several times. HOWEVER. Management has REALLY let things go downhill with cleanliness. 😞 We visited yesterday for my son’s birthday. All the bouncers are FILTHY. Really nasty. I’ve never seen any bouncers so dirty! Brown film on everything. Not sure if these bouncers had even been cleaned from the season prior by the way it looks?! Worse yet, the challenge bouncers have multiple splotches of old blood on the floor surfaces. Impossible to tell how long it’s been there, but I assume they are not checking on a daily basis if some areas need cleaning.

So yes my kids had fun, but it is a squeamish site to see what the kids are bouncing on. 🫣🤢 Pro tip: have your kids wear dark coloured socks!

PLEASE do better with the maintenance of your facility!!! High-traffic routes should be getting cleaned frequently. A regular rotation for general cleaning so the bouncers don’t look so dirty. Don’t let your facility become run down! This last visit certainly has certainly affected the likelihood of our family...

Not bad for what it is!

If bit bold kids, who don't mind crowds and bumps, the bouncy castles great for age 3+. Maybe age 6 to 10 sweet spot? Littler kids could spend couple hours of physical activity, barring injuries

Easy "fixes" Water bottle refill station would be nice, gets hot Smoking just outside kids fence is poor form, at least put up "No Smoking" signs

Challenge Zone ok, but not a lot of extra stuff Seems pricey to add challenge or splash zone

Splash zone some shade, seating for grown ups and spaces to spend the afternoon. Bit grungy, but more to do than one waterslide at bit more polished City of Saskatoon pools

Food well priced, $10 or less for burgers, fries, hot dogs etc - not sure if any good

They have good ice cream selection

It's a gigantic, outside inflatable climbing thing, so expect risk for injury, and to get bumps, and it's not clean but not dirty.
