★★★★★“Eglinton Reserve is a cherished community park known for its engaging playground and family-friendly environment. Nestled in a quiet residential area, the park provides a welcoming retreat for children, parents, and visitors looking to enjoy the outdoors. The playground features a main structure with a spiral slide that requires some climbing skill to access, encouraging physical activity and coordination. Kids can also explore a vertical spider web climbing frame, monkey bars, and hanging disks, which offer fun and challenging play opportunities. Additional amenities include a smaller shop-themed structure that sparks imaginative play, a springer, balance beam, see-saw, spinning tea-cup, climbing walls, four swings, a rolling log, and chin-up bars—ensuring entertainment for children of various ages and abilities. Beyond the playground, Eglinton Reserve offers ample space for relaxation and recreation. A sheltered area with tables and chairs provides a perfect spot for family picnics or gatherings with friends. The well-maintained BBQ facility allows visitors to enjoy outdoor cooking, making it an ideal location for weekend outings. For sports enthusiasts, the nearby basketball court offers a great place to practice skills or enjoy a friendly game. Open grassy areas provide room for casual sports, yoga, or simply unwinding amidst nature. While the landscaping is generally well-kept, some visitors have noted that grass cutting could be more consistent. However, this does not detract from the overall appeal of the park, which remains a beloved spot for the local community. With its blend of adventure, relaxation, and social spaces, Eglinton Reserve continues to be a delightful and versatile destination for families, children, and individuals seeking a refreshing outdoor experience.”

★★★★☆“Nice enough park with an average playground for younger kids, a small bbq area and a crappy b-ball mini court.”

★★★★☆“I just wanted somewhere to park while waiting for a friend but it is beside a beautiful tree lined street. People were strolling through the park, walking dogs, kids on the swings. Just so relaxing.”

★★★★☆“Nice park. Very pretty when the big tree drops it's leaves for winter. No toilet.”

★★★★★“Great park to stroll through, with excellent facilities to keep the kids entertained. My dog enjoyed it too but, she would recommend it more for small to medium sized dog of low to medium intelligence. She was able to experience mild stimulation and relaxation but would have preferred a larger area with more trees and a greater variety of scents to indulge her senses.”
