Castle Park on Maxwelton Road is a mass of wooden stairs, tunnels, towers, and walkways. The "castle" follows no particular logical order, but provides plenty of fun, as long as you are willing to chase after you toddler and leave your adult friends behind. There is much to explore: a wooden boat that kids can climb in and play with the steering wheel while a parent pushes it up and down gently, tunnel slides, swings, fireman pole, and numerous weaving mazes of wooden walkways. It is almost dizzying.
There is a baby/small toddler (6 month to 2 year old) section with smaller size slides, climbing bars, and swings with foot holes for safety. Then there is a section for bigger kids including regular swings. Unfortunately, as a mother of one of each type of kid: a 1 year old that wants to do everything that her big sister (almost4 years old) does, it is challenging, especially with the swings. There are no baby swings in the big kid swing section or visa versa.
. . . That said, this park is unique and worth it anyway! Go visit and have fun. There are also many miles of trails (biking, hiking, running), baseball fields, soccer fields, and a skate park, so there is really something for every member of the family whatever their age.
The girls play alone (no one else was there, besides me!) at the park on a chilly January afternoon
Marina enjoys the "big" kid swings, but Stella has to be patient, no baby swings here, and she notices!
There is baby Stella (1 yo) waiting while Marina enjoys the sensation of flying--wheeeeee
Stelly's turn! On the baby swing . . .
. . . While Marina waits!
There in the distance (above) is the skate park, you can see it from the playground
