Hit play to play

Hit play and get into the KidsPark spirit with a Spotify playlist full of fun, family-friendly tunes.

Food and drink

You can also check out one of our downtown patios for an open-air treat before you explore all KidsPark has to offer.

Accessibility

Accessibility passes are available for kids who require extra support to have their most fun. This pass grants your child front-of-line access to any activities at KidsPark. Pick one up at our info booth (by Victoria Park parking lot 1 past the intersection of David St. and Jubilee Dr.) when you arrive at KidsPark.

When you need to rest and recharge in a sensory-friendly space, visit KPL Calm Corner (at Jubilee Dr. and Water St. S.) for a shady spot in a quiet area of the park near accessible washrooms.

The KidsPark grounds are barrier free and accessible to those using mobility aids, though some activities may require crossing grassy areas. All washroom areas include at least one accessible stall.
