Cedaredale Park

Located at 3rd St and Inglewood Ave.






Cedaredale is full of delightful surprises everywhere you look. Right at the entrance, there's Blues Clues stickers on the "Dog Owners..." sign. That's cute, but not nearly as exciting as what you'll see once you walk down the corridor of hedges and around the corner:


Guys, there's a spaceship in the playground, you guys. Can we talk about this? That's the coolest thing to happen in a low-budget playground ever. There's also a tiny slide and a few little diggers. But more importantly, there's a spaceship in the playground. 

One of my favorite sort of park surprises is the cool graffiti sort. This park doesn't have much in the way of spray painted masterpieces, but it does have this little guy:


He hides behind some trees, but he's just there to make sure you don't hurt yourself. He's super friendly. Look for him if you visit Cedaredale park. 

Cedaredale Park also has a tennis court. Like most tennis courts, it has a couple of basketball hoops. But the special thing about this one is that there's a full basketball court.


It has keys, and a center circle. No 3-point line, but at least the two hoops are actually opposite each other. So when you tire of playing half court, make a trip to Cedaredale Park.

That's all, but every part of Cedaredale Park is used wisely. With it's limited space, it provides the perfect balance of entertainment for children, teens, adults, and childish adults.

Good: spaceship, smiley dude, tennis court, full basketball court, blues clues stickers
Bad: right beside the highway (noisy)
