Watch out for any wannabe jaguars hiding in the grasses. And bring your ninja-est moves for dodging “lasers” in the climbing tower. Welcome to another day of narrow escapes at Pennant Park.
This new park is a pennant-shaped slice of adventure tucked among the homes of Cascade Village. And it’s very close to The Watercourse, a network of waterways that winds through Daybreak’s Upper Villages. So high-seas adventure can also be part of your day.
Custom designed by Ontario’s award-winning Earthscape, Pennant Park’s playground — like all those in Daybreak — is geared to fire up kids’ imaginations. We grownups might see a cool tower with a giant spider web and hammocks inside. Criss-crossing obstacles, aka “lasers.” Ropes and a wall to climb. Tunnels for crawling and a balcony for exploring. (Whew. Sounds like solid naptime insurance to us.) But kids? They’ll see a free-form stage for, well, any storyline that floats into their heads.
Beyond the playground, Pennant Park includes more bring-the-whole-family-fun — grassy play areas, grills and picnic tables. (Can you smell the burgers yet?) Plus, creature comforts like shade trees over Adirondack chairs — probably the perfect spot to rest up before you hit the bike path which will eventually hook up to the rest of Daybreak’s 50-plus-mile trail network. Find this new addition to Daybreak parks at the intersection of Docksider Drive and Restless Road.
Happy biking-pirating-saving humanity, everybody.
