Meghan - yes you are absolutely allowed to go when school is in! Depending on the age of your child you might want to avoid when the school kids are out - I think recess is 10:30-10:45, lunch is 12-1:30 and they are out at 3pm. It can be pretty crazy then. When Alex was younger he found the chaos too overwhelming but now (he's 5) he loves going when all the kids are there!

is it fixed??
I took my daughter to the spraypark last weekend (she's been there many times before, has a great time there), and the spraypark was broken. Does anyone know when it's going to be fixed?

Question
Anyone know if and when the water park component is active? I was hoping to take my son over this weekend.

Question
Addictive, 
 
Our 3 yr can't get enough of this playground. It is so versatile from the playground to the water section to the big open fields for running and flying kites. Just be prepared to spend all day noone wants to leave

Awesome Park
This park is fantastic for kids of all ages!! My little 2-year-old loved it! The only problem is that it gets very crowded on nice days, and some bigger kids can get a little rough in their play. The structures here are amazing, and my daughter loved them! In the summer, the water area is awesome! The kids love splashing around in the fountains. There is no pool, so there is no fear in letting them run and play... Very highly recommended for all parents!!!!

Awesome Park
I took my 16 month old daughter to this playground today and she had so much fun! The best part was not having to worry about her trying to eat the rocks! (well, until we checked out the swings on the older part of the park). But, when does the water part of the park start up?

Best Playground!
This is the best playground I have ever seen - I wish the City would build more like it - especially in Clayton Park! :grin

WOW
Where was this when I was a child. We were in Halifax killing time on the weekend so I thought I would check it out and was I ever glad we did. My 3 y/o daughter loved it and I felt safe with her there.
