Like most kids, my daughters have a playground favourite that they search for at the start of each visit. They’re somewhat fickle – the playground gem can change with regularity, but for the past few months it’s consistently been the monkey bars. We arrive at a new park and they immediately start scouring the area for monkey bars – preferably ones they can reach themselves, and no, swinging rings are NOT as good as monkey bars.<\/p>\n

Let the record show Cameron Heights Playground has a set of monkey bars.<\/p>\n

Once we confirmed this all-important fact, we were able to branch out, explore and appreciate all the other cool features this southwest community hub has to offer.<\/p>\n

The Cameron Heights playground is a beautiful, treehouse-themed playspace with unique details like nailer boards under the green shingled roof, a hollow treetrunk base with knothole windows, and even a rope bridge connecting two structures.<\/p>\n

Most of the playground is based in rubber playground floor. (My favourite!) There is a small sandpit located at one end of the park perfect for fans of scooping and digging.<\/p>\n

There’s a cute toddler park with a slide, climbers and a few unique accessories, including a ball maze, rain wheel and sound effect touch pad. The treehouse theme is carried through with a makeshift looking fence design and two treetop canopies hanging over the toddler space.<\/p>\n

The bigger park is truly an adventure zone. There are tons of ways to climb up or across. If you have monkeys like mine, this is a park for them – not only for the (triangle) monkey bars, but also for the numerous options for scaling across unique items.<\/p>\n

The big park also has a bit of a nature park built in, with a hollowed-out log, several tree stumps and a boulder. All the climbing and jumping options made a great obstacle course and my girls made trip after trip through the circuit. (I only had to be called in the odd time for a boost up to something that was just a little out of reach.)<\/p>\n

The swing set with 2 big and 2 little swings, the variety of spinners and the spring-mounted surfboard each caught our attention for a little while.<\/p>\n

The painted hopscotch course was a hit, as was the merry-go-round with its climbable rope sides.<\/p>\n

Cameron Heights playground has a green shack and we visited during program hours, so the park was busy, but never so busy that there wasn’t space to play.<\/p>\n

The playground is in a beautiful park, with plenty of benches and a large covered picnic area. The Cameron Heights Community League is in the process of raising funds to add a spray park to this space. They are closing in on their fundraising goal, so watch for construction in the near future!<\/p>\n
