Toddler-friendly Zipline 
Toddler friendly ziplines, where kids are actually sitting while they’re zooming across the playground is one of the reasons that we love this playground. It’s one of the only playgrounds in Edmonton where kids can experience the zooming, without actually having to hang on to a rope!

Maple Crest ‘Dream Playground’
This is one of our favourites not only because of the toddler-friendly play structure, but because of the Whimsical ‘DREAM’ statues on a toddler friendly slope that’s perfect for rolling downwards, with paths and bridges, it’s a fun community to explore, and the fantastic playground is a fun add-on.

Jackie Parker
Past the spray park, and conveniently close to the washrooms, you’ll find a great toddler friendly space at Jackie Parker. It’s not only a great place to cool off after you’ve been playing, but the toddler area is set aside from the huge expanse of the park for older children. It makes it easy to see where your small kids are playing, and keep an eye on them as they enjoy the playground.

Brintnell Park 
You know those fun houses that you can find all over the city at playgrounds? They’re like whimsical little, toddler villages? Brintnell Park is our favourite playground that features one of these houses. It’s a fun, colorful, way to encourage pretend play in little kids. There’s even the adorable, toddler-friendly sized slide.

Jean Vanier 
Head over to this school playground in Sherwood Park for a dose of ‘old school’ playground magic. It’s a rare gem of a wooden playground, with a huge structure that’s easily scaled by toddlers, and enough space on the structure for you to join them on their adventure. In the mood for something more modern? Don’t worry, there’s a modern playground adjacent to this classic gem.
