Overall Assessment
It is too bad this playground doesn’t have accessible flooring instead of pea gravel, as it would then be a great inclusive playground.
As it is, it is still really great. It has one of only two accessible ziplines in Calgary right now as well as some fun and challenging climbing equipment.
It’s also just a quick walk across the field to Glamorgan School Playground if you like playground hopping.
