When with young children, you can't expect much more for your money than what you get at Kidstown Water Playground in Scarborough. When we visited, there were spurting whales, a water slide that ends in a wading pool, a large pirate boat armed with water pistols and corridor of spraying rings to navigate; enough to thrill any child 8 years and under. (Older ones will be excited as well if they've not recently been spoiled by a visit to a larger water park.) Since then, they've added a dumping bucket and taken away the big sand box. The overall site covers approximately 2,000 sq. ft. and is surrounded by a grassy area with benches and picnic tables. Beyond the fenced area, there is a colourful playground and a lovely grass hill down which my little stuntman and his new pals happily rolled.
