If you’re in the area (perhaps after some ice cream along the Sainte-Anne boardwalk?) this is a nice little pit stop to end the day.
OR, if it’s a bajillion degrees out and you need to cool off, the brand new splash pad will be just the ticket! Yay Senneville for incorporating their first splash pad into this park’s recent renovations!
The BEFORE:
Located right beside the updated playground, the splash pad has a nice sequence of sprays and is activated by the sensor on the ground. Dance between there and the playground. Or don’t, because the playground is on sand and then you’re going to clog up the pipes with everything you trail back. Anyhoo.
The new wooden equipment from Earthscape is super interesting. For some. As my 11-year-old tester said “I’d say this playground is good for kids 7 and older.” If you like traditional post-and-platform equipment this is very different, but also offers a challenge for kids to figure out a different way of playing, climbing, and balancing. I always love anything that’s different so we love these natural log piles! There’s also a small bird to climb over or sit in, and baby and adult swings.
This large park is also home to the city’s pool, small soccer field, a pretty gazebo, tennis courts, beach volleyball, basketball nets, and a winter skating rink.
Things to note:
-I can’t find any information about the splash pad and its opening hours on Senneville’s website or FB page. It is probably on from 9ish to 9sih. Touch the sensor on the ground to activate the water.
-Near the playground are benches and picnic tables.
-The playground is on sand.
-There was some shade.
-This park is also home to the George-McLeish Community Centre.
-Pool details are HERE. It’s for residents only.
-The only bathrooms that I could see would be inside the Centre or the pool area. You might have to ask permission.
-There is a good-size parking lot.
