Laurier Park is the third park on this list on Laurier Avenue – it’s a long street – and is also in the older part of Milton. In some ways, this playground reminds me of a fort, with its “kids only” signs, muted colours, and pretend wood apparatus that kids can climb and peak through.
There are five slides. The lower double slide is perfect for little kids, while the other three include one tall and a second double slide, perfect for those who want to race each other to the bottom. A swing set rests nearby, as does a small gazebo with one picnic table.
While there are a lot of surrounding trees, unfortunately, they don’t work well to offer shade. The splash pad is minimal, with a single flower that sprays water out of its petals, and the rest of the water shoots up from below. But there are some excellent surrounding paths and a nearby soccer field.
