Reviews

  • Sarah Johnson

This playground is incredible. My children love it, and they are almost too old to play in a playground anymore. The sand and water feature is about the greatest thing. Bring a change of clothes. The drawback to this park is that there is no place where a parent can see everything. A crafty child can slip away pretty quickly. There are lots of places to explore, so there are lots of places to hide. This is fine for older kids, but for toddlers. It means a parent has to follow them around pretty closely.

  • Mike

This review is for the toboggan slide behind the Nature Park. I took my toddlers there on a nice day, and there were a few other kids playing, but the run was mostly ice with a big bump halfway down. Going over the bump and then landing hard on our bums hurt a lot. There are no stairs to get up to the top, and the path along the sides of the run were so icy I had to carry my kids and the sled while holding onto the fence! I will go again when there is more snow, but not fun when it is mostly ice.

  • Erika Doerr

Our kids love this playground. Unfortunately the second slide is closed for a year already and the lineup is long. Also the fun pirate ship is closed this year. I'm disappointed about people neglecting the "No Dog" Policy. Many children are afraid of dogs, I think it's important to follow that rule. Especially with bigger dogs. We also have a small dog, but we don't take her with us. Very dangerous on crowded days. You never know what dogs get along, and all the kids around that?

Honestly not a whole lot for younger kids to do. Some of the “rock wall” rocks are broken leaving sharp edges, or they spin. One of the Willow tunnels is absolutely trashed, the saucer swings have a metal seat and are very cold and slippery but the toddler swings leg holes are so small my lean toddler couldn’t put his legs in. Some of the rubber is missing in places. It’s probably a decent place for older kids, but definitely not for younger kids

May 2023, playground is open for the season! This playground is ok but needs some work lots of rubber patches have come up leaving concrete holes in the play areas. I wish there's was more than 4 swings, lots of kids just stay on the swings so others don't get a turn. People also seem to not follow the no bikes in the park policy, not great either so many littles running around.

  • roadster2014 ?

Great little playground hidden away. A few people I talked to didn't even know it was there. Slides, swings sandbox and other structures. They have a little flow fountain type structure that the kids can play with. Opening doors to let the water drain out in different directions. Has a small metal wheel that spins when the water flows over it.

  • Carol Cassell

The Nature Playground is always fun to visit and keeps my 2 year old occupied for a few hours. There are slides, swings and places to climb, but if you explore past the obvious playground there are tunnels, plant sculptures, musical instruments and other fun things to explore. It could use more than 2 baby swings and 4 saucer swings.

I went here for my girlfriends daughters 2nd birthday party. What a great play area! A great inexpensive way to celebrate a child's birthday. Any child would be thrilled to spend an afternoon there. Get there early if you want a table though. It is very busy and not a lot of close parking as the lot fills up quickly.

  • Michael Silicz

Always a great time to be had the Nature Playground! Lots of play options ranging from tots to bigger kids. Enough shaded areas to avoid the sun if necessary. Could use more swings though. Overall one of the best playgrounds in the city, plus it's got all the rest of the amenities of Assiniboine Park

  • Ricardo F

Great place for kids and their parents. There's a tent for parties that handles several people and several parties at the same time, fire pits with more room for parties. There's a clean bathroom close. Lots of fun for the little ones with water amusements, swings, and slides. Our son loves it.

  • Samantha B

Peaceful area with beautiful flowers and sculptures. We really enjoy the music in the park when they run these events. Its convenient being in assiniboine park, you can enjoy the pond, lyric theatre and other events going in. If you want to make a family day out of it the zoo is close by.

  • Earl Duke

This playground is a really fun place for kids. The slides are alot of fun as well as the other play structures. The kids had a really good time. There is also alot of other things to do at Assiniboine Park. Only unfortunate thing is the water features are no longer operating.

  • K Jon

A good playground with suitable activities for almost all ages of kids. Swings, slides, climbing stuff, water and sand, music and noisemakers. Lots of fun activities. There are nice sitting areas and a picnic/BBQ shelter, washrooms nearby, and decent parking available.

  • Marlene Voth

This is a wonderful playground, intelligently designed, with the child in mind. Very large, interesting and educational, includes a covered picnic area, modern bathrooms and ample parking within Assiniboine Park. I wish it had been around when my kids were little!!!

  • Sandra Terra

Still a great place. Less than it was a few years ago. Greenery is less and tunnels are not well maintained. Good clean picnic sites in the grass and under the shelter. Was missing the disk swings when we were there. Still occupied an 8 year old for a good 2 hours.

  • Ben Jiménez

This is such a wonder place to take the family. The imaginative play in the water/sand area is always a delight to see. The grounds are kept very clean. Bring a snack and a change of clothes for The kids and make an entire day out of it. Great place all around.

  • Lisa Friesen

This is a fantastic play structure with tons of areas to sit & have supper. Unfortunately, two out of four of the saucer swings are still missing from last Fall & the water fountain wasn't up & running today & it shod have been. Otherwise, no complaints!

  • Jasmine IA

The nature Park is always great to take my son to but when we went today April 19th 2019 the washrooms were closed the nature Park was full of families and kids and had a lot of parents having to walk to the washrooms by the duck pond which was not good

  • chronofanz

Great set of playground equipment to entertain the 5 to 12 years old crowd. However, what makes this location notable is this statue of Winnie the Bear and a plaque explaining the connection between Winnipeg and AA Milne's Winnie the Pooh stories.

  • Jenelle M

It was fun but I expected it to have way more nature elements. We went on a Saturday and it was insanely busy. The water features are not functional yet. The water fountain was broken, so make sure to bring enough water for your whole visit.

  • Relax with Aay

Top location. Parking is available at the entrance and on the pavilion crescent.must visit place.Really nice place for kids. I personally find it hiding on the side.i found it little safe for kids too. Good place for picnic too.

  • felix lee

Great playground! Very clean and well-maintained. There is an assortment of activities, including slides, saucer swings, and climbers. Sand and water areas are available in the summer. Artificial hills are a nice touch.

  • Hannah Gray

Not lots to do at this time - the big slides/hill is closed (fenced off) and the water and sand features are also closed. This doesn’t give a lot of options for younger kids or if the playground is super busy.

  • jackie ryder

A wonderful place to spend a few hours with kids. Plenty to play with and explore. Well designed to challenge kids instead of just putting them in a bubble. Watch out with the rope lader slide it goes fast!

  • Nabeel Ish

This park has something for all kids...the structures are light years better than most parks. Even has a rock climbing Hill for kids!...careful on the rope climbing structure though, kids can fall through.

  • Makaylee Radcliffe

It was really fun I went with my mom, sister, sisters boyfriend, neice and nephew and my nephew loved it there he played there for quite a while my neice is only a few months old so she couldn't play on it

  • Heather Hill

this is probably one of the if nit the best places to go to in Winnipeg with kids. It's very engaging with a water pump play area, huge sand box, slides, ship climbing structure and gardens and it's free!

  • matt ferber

This place is pretty cool, actually. Neat rock climbing structure, swings, a really cool water play area, large eating structure right nearby. Lots of other stuff! Definitely check it out if you haven't

  • Louie Doulias

Great place to bring small kids to play. There are a few slides, swings and other things here too check out, plus rubber on the playground to protect kids from falls. It closes at sundown.

  • Krizz Beez

My kids love this play ground. We love the sand & water area and the huge slide. Only thing that bothers me is one of the large saucer swings broke a few years ago and was never replaced.

  • Darren Desjardins

Its busy, but there is lots to do. Its nice that there are large picnic areas with bbq pits all around. There is not alot of shade in the nature playground so be careful when its hot out

  • Bea chantel

Very nice playground in general. The area is pretty padded. It comes with a water table. Although most of the struture is geared towards bigger kids. But still enjoyable for small ones.

  • Richard Robinson

They have had the big slide blocked off all spring and still to this date saying its under maintenance but nothing has been worked on. It looks like no one has done much there.

  • bryce cooper

A great play area near the centre of Assiniboine park. All the structures are well designed and in good condition, the water pump and canals make me wish I was a child again.

  • nancy m

So many kids love this park! My niece loves the slides, and to play! Clean, and promotes creative play. There's washrooms nearby, and a picnic shelter. Parking is close too!

What a lovely place for children. The playground was colourful, clean and full of items to explore. I appreciated that there were things for children of all sizes and ages.

The little water area/stream in the park was my son's favorite thing. We paid with it for hours, building dams/breaking dams, pumping water... lol it was a long of fun!!

  • Josi Johns

We love visiting this playground. Great location and lots of different options for all ages. The Sand and water section is always a huge hit. Lots of parking nearby too.

I love taking my kids to the Nature Playground in summer, so much to do for the kids and lots of pretty flowers. They really do a great job with the gardens.

One of the best outdoor areas in Wpg. We should have more like this. I think this is good for our kids to become physically active outdoor and make friends.

  • Kyra Thiele

Took my kiddo for a picnic and playtime. The facilities are nice, but appear to be in need of some TLC. Overall a great place for families.

  • Russell Watts

It's really busy but fun for the kids to run around, the water feature is open in summer so expect your kids to be wet after a visit here.

  • Angelle Holmes

The kids have fun and that's all that matters but I feel it would be better to have chosen equipment that could be used year round.

  • Paul Browning

Nice set up needs to have the water working and the second slide also needs to be repaired but kids still had a good time there

  • Peter Heasler

Kids always have lots of fun here. I find it stressful though because it's always super busy and hard to keep track of my kids.
