.
Overall Assessment: This is one of Calgary’s most unique playgrounds. It’s not the easiest playground to get to but its worth the short walk. This playground will provide a different kind of challenge for both big and little kids. Gordie loved playing ‘house’ in the big log and trying to move around from rock to rock without touching the ground. I highly recommend this playground – it was one of my favorites from this year.
This is my 10 and 7 year olds favourite park there’s also a really nice bike path and lots of flowers and bugs to explore.
