    Toronto’s best (and worst) playgrounds? This dad has made a guide

    Toronto’s best (and worst) playgrounds? This dad has made a guide

    Guest: Katie Daubs, senior writer

    The City of Toronto manages more than 850 playgrounds, but city-provided information is lacking and children have critical questions. How fast is the slide? Will I vomit on the merry-go-round? Is there a place to play house? Parents also have questions. Is their shade? Is the space accessible? Is a bathroom close by? To get the information, one Toronto dad has taken his children to over 200 parks and built an essential guide with important information any family would need before heading outside. The Star's Katie Daubs joins “This Matters” to talk about his findings, the best and worst playgrounds in Toronto and the fun playground history in the city.
