KASLO PARK PLAYGROUND
Completed in July 2020, this new playground rebuild features a similar play structure as the one at Tisdall Park, with the addition of a long roller slide, stairs and sliding pole.
As seen in the photo gallery above, the playground is designed for the 5 – 12 yr age range and features multiple climbing options such as steps, ladders, rope nets and a cylinder rope climber in the middle.
Located on a grassy slope, this colourful playground also includes a plastic embankment slide. Rubber dome steppers, stairs and rope assist children with the ascent to the top of the hill.
Standalone play components include a spinning pole as well as a two seated spring rider.
Although there are no schools within a block of the park, there was a secondary class at the playground during our visit. As outdoor classrooms are desired during covid, playgrounds such as this one might be in use by the surrounding schools during the weekdays.
Unless you’re missing your high school days and want to sit in to feel your adolescence again, it might be best to prepare a plan B in case this playground is classroom-occupied.
