LILIAN TO PARK PLAYGROUND
The “To” in Lilian To Park refers to a surname and not a preposition, making it a rarity to find a park named after local woman in this city. Unless one rides a bicycle down Yukon St, this playground can be easily missed. The main focal point of this spot is the massive saucer swing. Notice this swing is unlike most saucer or disc swings, in that it hangs from one anchor point enabling it to spin while swaying. It’s an adventure of centrifugal force if one is daring enough to hold on tight. Along with a few more climbing and balancing features, there’s also a small ditch with rocks and a log to explore while bicycles whiz by behind it.
