Northgate Park

"Northgate Park"

The playground has recently been revamped with brand-new, modern equipment  and it is so much fun! Definitely worth spending a few hours or an afternoon. The park's original structures include swings, a small slide, see-saws, and a large picnic area with a fireplace. There are ample picnic tables, and water fountains for thirsty people. There is also a path that goes around the perimeter of the park, but it is currently being updated, and might not be completely accessible. There are also no public restrooms at this park (which is why I give it 4 out of 5 stars).

For canine lovers, there is Northgate Dog Park, located across the street from the playground. It has a section for smaller dogs and a large fenced-in area for larger dogs and their playmates.

Little known fact: If you walk past the dog park and continue down the paved path, you will end up on Murray Ave., next to the Museum of Life and Science picnic area, where the old Dinosaur Trail was once located.
