Checkendon Park Playground is located near the West Humber Trail, east of Checkendon Drive and Riverhead Drive.

The playground currently includes:

  • two swing sets with:
    • two swings for ages two to five
    • two swings for ages five to 12

The playground will be redesigned using community feedback and is proposed to include:
