Kids Playground at Central Park in Merritt

Thoughts:
This large park is close to the highway so is very convenient for stopping at if you are travelling through and need a place to stop and stretch your legs.  There is not a lot of places to eat nearby but you pass by McDonalds, Subway, Dairy Queen, Tim Hortons and Starbucks on your way down if you want something to bring. The kids area is nice and clean, some large tires for playing on and around, beach volleyball ball courts were there but no nets were set up, plenty of baseball diamonds,  skate park,  large parking lot,

covered picnic area,  bmx track, and the bathrooms were a converted Atco trailer.

Pros:
Close to highway and plenty of room.  Good variety of things to do.

Cons:
Kids area is a bit old and doesn't seem as sturdy as some of the newer playgrounds.
