Summer time is here and that means pools and splash pads! Forster Park is a nice little neighbourhood park in Oakville with a good playground, splash pad, tennis court and washrooms. There are lots of nice tall trees, shade and a few picnic tables.
We’ve been to this park many times before but this was the first time our kids have ventured into a splash pad. Our previously splash pad hating children finally tried a splash pad!
I loved that the splash pad area was right next to the playground. We set up our blanket on the grassy area in the middle and then didn’t have to exert any energy moving around to different parts of the park 😊 It was a perfect spot for me to be lazy AND have a good view of my kids in each area of the playground.
Splash pad
The splash pad has a few water spout things, palm leaves that spray water and 3 little tipping buckets.
There are a couple of benches and lots of shady areas under the trees.
Playground
There are a few play structures, slides, swings, and a few smaller structures for little kids.
Shade. Glorious Shade.
As you may know from my other posts, we are a family of shade lovers and this park has lots of it. Lots of tall trees and a few picnic tables.
The Bottom Line
Forster Park is located in Oakville near Forster Park Drive and Queen Mary Drive.
Parking is free along the side streets. The park has washrooms.
We like this park for the layout and our kids enjoy the playground and the shade.
If your kids prefer a wading pool, check out the post about LaSalle Park in Burlington.
