Blatchford Tomato Playground

Blatchford Tomato Playground

We're always willing to travel around the city to explore a new playground, but sometimes, we spot a playground while we're driving by. The kids spotted the tall flowers at Blatchford playground, and the unique spherical climbers - and immediately I was intrigued. I pulled the car around, found an entrance to the road, and discovered a unique Edmonton playground that made the list of places we're going to explore again soon.

Blatchford Playground The Blatchford playground features three spherical climbers with different things to explore inside of each one. For children that aren't as adept at climbing, we appreciated the toddler 'apple' or 'tomato' depending on which child you're talking to. The second sphere was a bit more tricky to get inside, but featured a flat surface for the children to walk once they're inside the sphere.

The third, was a bit more tricky, for older children, and featured a climber with multiple ways to get inside.In addition, there are many places to play, lots to explore in the newly developing neighbourhood and your kids are going to love the fact that there's an air tower controller tower, right there, near the playground.

We loved the design elements of the playground, and how it flowed from one play structure to climbing, to another. From the turned over flower pots that became climb-through fun, to the flower 'walkie talkie' - to the tall flowers that peppered through the garden, it's an incredible design.
