Syd Cole Park, located in the newly developed Minto Long Branch community, includes a neighborhood playground that provides a space where residents can connect and interact while children develop social and physical skills. Park spaces are important to new communities because they provide a place where new friendships are formed, and a sense of community develops. The park includes sea-worthy elements that were inspired by the community’s harbor history. Nautical-themed play structures inspire role-playing and imagination, encouraging children to think outside the box and develop new ways to play.
