Previous Next CAMBIE PARK PLAYGROUND Apart from some late afternoon shade, this toddler playground is in full sun during the day and can be a scorcher in the summer. Located on the northwest corner of a large field, this old style playground is plunked in the middle of some pea gravel and features a double …
Previous Next EAST CAMPUS PARK PLAYGROUND This all natural, driftwood play structure is hidden in a small wooded area out at UBC. Shaped like a nest, one can only guess what creature dwells here. Our guess is that a giant UBC Thunderbird nests here with it’s wooden eggs. I’d like to believe we were able …
Previous Next ANDY LIVINGSTONE PARK PLAYGROUND Normally we don’t rate playgrounds but in this case, it’s a safety issue. Bottom line, don’t come here.

Cartographic essay and powerpoint presentation aside, let’s just say there’s more than one route to get to this playground. …
Previous Next RIVERFRONT PARK EAST PLAYGROUND A couple of large trees provide partial shade for this happy Minions-coloured playground. It comes complete with a plastic tunnel slide, a wide metal slide, a hanging bridge, chain link ladder and a rare, square shaped tunnel. From the top platform, children can enjoy seeing barges and tugboats chugging along the Fraser River …
