All About Maple Park

Located just south of Mapleview Centre in Burlington’s west end, this park has a ton to offer families and kids of all ages. Maple Park’s playground was recently renovated and the addition of a fence around the perimeter of the playground means less worrying about your little one running out into the parking lot. The playground is home to swings, slides and a variety of ways to climb and balance. There are small and medium-sized rock climbing walls and the play structure is easy to climb and manoeuvre around on. Little kids will love the slides in 2 sizes and see-saw. They can bang on the drums and balance on the wobbly balance beam. Bigger kids will love the various ways to climb and jump, and everyone loves a merry-go-round! We are seeing more merry-go-rounds appear in parks lately and kids love them.

Maple Park is also home to one of Burlington’s five community gardens. Wander your way from the parking lot (shared with the Burlington Gymnastics Club) towards Mapleview Centre and you’ll stumble upon a quaint strolling path complete with plants and flower gardens maintain by the community. It’s a great spot to sit and read while enjoying your tea. You can also add a few steps to your day by taking a longer stroll along the gravel path that stretches from the flower garden all around the perimeter of the park. Perfect for walking with friends or a family pet.
