Playground Family Fun: Jubilee Park Bridgetown

There are so many great places to play in the Annapolis Valley! So, we intend to make our way across and let you know about the various playgrounds, telling you the best features and other important information about each one of them! Today, we are featuring Bridgetown’s Jubilee Park!

Here’s what Bridgetown’s website says about the park:

A group of Bridgetown area residents has created a Natural Playground in Jubilee Park. A natural playground is one that uses elements that you could find in nature – logs, boulders, hills, sand, stumps – put together to create a unique play area for children. The idea behind the Jubilee Park playground is that of a dry stream bed which winds around an island (the hill), through the trees, and empties into a large sand area.
Kids of all ages can enjoy the hill slide, the teeter-totters made from logs, the stepping poles and more.

The equipment

There is a small slide built into a hill, as well as several other structures to climb in and around.

Babies and Toddlers

This would be a great playground for really small children, as all the pieces are manageable, and kids can adapt depending on their mobility and age.

Shade, Benches and Tables

There is plenty of all of this! Lots of places for picnics, and to stay out of the hot sun!

Accessibility

There are no accessible components to this playground. The surface is gravel, and there is a step up to get into the playground area.

Amenities

There were no public bathrooms that we could find. However, in season, when the visitor information centre is open, there may be a public-use one there.

Also on site is a boat docking wharf, and when we were there, we saw youth swimming in the river.

Analysis

This is a great playground for really small children. Older children will be bored within minutes. It’s a great place for a picnic, to rent a kayak, or to relax by the water.

Location

Jubilee Park is in the heart of Bridgetown, right on the main street.

There are a lot of awesome things packed into this small area!

That was my son’s impression of this playground, giving it 2 big thumbs up!

The equipment

The main structure is a wooden boat, equipped with several climbing pieces to get up, and two slides to get down! The steering wheel inside the structure is great for imaginative play!

Underneath the structure, is a whole other world for little ones to crawl through, and invent all sorts of imaginary worlds!

Surrounding the main structure are several other play areas. There is a ramp for biking, running or rolling cars on, with a concrete tube to crawl through underneath.

At the back of the playground is a more natural area with a mini climbing wall, slide set into a hill, and some wooden balance pieces.

And, of course, my son’s favourite item from when he was little – the stone diggers!

There is also a set of swings on site. See! A lot of punch for a small space!

Babies and Toddlers

There is one swing designed for babies. Toddlers will have fun using the natural playground, playing under the structure, and running up and down the sloped run!

To get onto the main structure, they will need help to get up, and maybe navigating the multi levels inside.

Shade, Benches and Tables

Yes, to all! There is a gazebo for shade, or children can play beneath the structure on hot days! There are trees with benches and several picnic tables.

Accessibility

It is not possible for children in a wheelchair or with mobility issues to play on the main part of the structure.

Amenities

At the time of our visit, there was a port-a-potty on site.

Favourite features

I love that the whole playground is gated. Having had preschoolers who would dart off, in this playground, I know they are safe. Kids can push the gate open, but cannot push to get out.

Location

This lovely playground is located at the end of St. George Street in Annapolis Royal, down near the wharf.
