We’ve been coming to this spot for years and have always loved it. It’s located in a wonderful area with an open layout, a park right next door, and truly beautiful scenery. There are tall trees, plenty of shade, and outdoor seating that makes it a great place to relax, especially on nice days. The setup is casual: you check in, place your order, find a table, and pick up your food when it’s ready. Seating indoors is limited, but they do offer outdoor seating. They have a nice selection of coffee, pastries, cookies, and menu items, and it’s always a hit with kids. They also host small events, which adds to the community feel. We recently attended a charity event here for a close friend, and it was a great experience. I originally introduced her to this location, and she chose it for her event β€” we were more than happy to support both her and this small business. A couple things to note: there is only one small, single-stall restroom, so on busy days you may have to wait. Parking is also limited β€” there’s a small lot, and often you’ll need to park across the street at the church depending on the time of day. Overall, this is a fantastic, family-friendly spot. It’s perfect for kids, groups, and a relaxed, playful atmosphere. This is not really a quiet date-night destination β€” it’s more of a lively, run-around, have-fun kind of place, and it does that very well.

πŸ† Family Action Verdict

A strong pick for mixed-age groups β€” the three distinct play zones mean a toddler and a ten-year-old each have their own territory. The splash pad is the centrepiece in summer, and the cafe means no mid-day pack-up to find food. Plan around sparse parking on busy weekend mornings; the single restroom creates queues when the park is full.

ℹ️ What to Know Before You Go

πŸ’‘Bring towels and a change of clothes whenever the splash pad is running
⏰Arrive early on weekends β€” street parking fills quickly and the lot is small
🎟️The Alice in Wonderland sculpture has hidden story elements worth exploring slowly
πŸš—Check the park's events calendar for yoga, art activities, and farmers market days

β€œWe always have fun here. There are 3 play areas and a big field area. One has climbing activity, it seems more for school-age kids. One has a sand area and slide, plus some climbing stuff for preschool. There is a water pad separating them, which is a hit with all ages. The big field area is where organized activities are offered by park staff, and I've also seen kids learning how to play soccer here. It is all surrounded by a track where many people stroll, speed walk, or run. Add to this a reasonably priced indoor, outdoor dining cafe playing music, and the whole family can share all the fun they've had over some nice food or coffee & ice cream.”

β€œI LOVE this place. Well my daughter does, so I do too. They have three areas to play β€” a regular playground, a ropes course(ish) playground and a splash pad. I’ve been there just solo with my daughter and for birthday parties. My only request is that other people clean up after themselves.”

β€œVery nice area and atmosphere. Very kid friendly. They have food and adult beverages... You can take a blanket and enjoy the area and make a day of it. Take a picnic basket... Enjoy”

Overview

Evelyn's Park spans five acres with a toddler-friendly sand-and-slide area, a climbing and ropes course for school-age kids, and a splash pad between them that draws all ages in summer. The Great Lawn accommodates picnic blankets and open play, as meandering trails, meditation areas, and the Alice in Wonderland sculpture add exploration value.
