Colourful playground at north Toronto elementary school.

Leaside playground that's in a nice spot, but needs an upgrade if it's going to compete with other nearby playgrounds.

Nice playground near, but not on, a hidden trail.

One of Toronto's best-hidden playgrounds gets an upgrade.

A nice playground in a beautiful lakeside park.

Hidden gem playground with some awesome Earthscape equipment.

Just enough equipment to qualify as a playground.

A nice playground upgrade at a park with plenty to do.

New Annex park with a disappointing playground and a baffling number of benches.

Hidden gem playground in Toronto's west Annex.

Nice little North Toronto playground on a mini ravine trail.

All this beautiful park needed was better equipment; it's now one of Scarborough's best places to play.

Quaint, cozy playground at the bottom of Casa Loma's hill.
