Parc Kennith Loyd – Well at least there is a splash pad...

The bike ride to this playground was the highlight. Hitting the bike trail at the end of Fraser we took it over to Vanier and the park was only a few blocks over. Using the trial to get somewhere is always enjoyable with out the stress of traffic.


At the end of Rue Arthur Whelan this park would be better off as green space if not for the fact it had a splash pad. This is all it has going for it for kids and even the splash pad has one of snake head sprinklers missing the snakes head, leaving it just a curved pole with a water jet. Besides that esthetic point the pad is decent but not as good as the one in Parc Emile Zola. What it mostly lacks is the playground to support it. There is a playground with no play structure. It has a couple of things to play on. Two spring rockers, one of which is broken, a couple swings, a slide and something that likes to think of itself as a climbing wall, but I'm not convinced.




Since we were not prepared to do a splash park the kids were bored of the play area in about 10 minutes. Considering these are two kids would enjoy jumping on the coffee table for 30 minutes of fun it does not say much about the park. There are better splash pads and so far every playground we've been to is better. This is one we won't feel the need to return to.
