Swainson’s Hawk Park

This is a great park and well positioned to serve Westshore and the surrounding communities. Its well maintained with plenty of open areas and grassy areas but sadly few mature trees so shade is hard to find. The playground has a variety of equipment and theres a coveted place to picnic. Theres no designated dog park (one is not far away) but dogs seem welcome as long as people pick which they do. Out of respect for parents, I keep my dog out of the playground (even tho he loves kids) but theres a lot of mutual territory. Important to note it connects to a walkway around the water (man-made water feature) and further to a bike and main walking path. Its primarily locals so if youre just exploring bring your phone or you may end up very lost and isolated. Important: no where to use the bathroom! This is important even for people who live right there. Kids have to go when they have to go! I see a lot of frustrated parents Playground: There is a great playground for small children including a miniature zip line (no real incline, slow, for small children) Restrooms: There are no public restrooms at this park. Its design is not as a destination park but rather a neighborhood park for those that live in that neighborhood Dog-friendliness: The park is dog friendly but there is no designated off leash area. Picnic area: There are lots of picnic tables most of which are covered

Great park with a view. There is a large zip line, 3 rope seat carousel and plenty of picnic space and area for throwing frisbee, walking dog etc.
