Parks and Playgrounds

Centennial Park

Nestled in the heart of downtown Englehart, on the corner of Third Street and 4th Avenue, this beautiful parks offers a welcoming escape surrounded by nature. Shaded by mature trees and enhanced with vibrant gardens and colorful flowerbeds, it provides a peaceful retreat for visitors of all ages and abilities. 

A winding walking path invites leisurely strolls, while picnic tables and an accessible covered gazebo make it the perfect spot to gather with family and friends. 

The park serves as a focal point for community events and casual relaxation, and the modern washroom facility ensures comfort and convenience for all guests. 

Whether for a quiet break, a scenic walk or a lively gathering, Centennial park combines natural beauty with thoughtful amenities including access to power, and lighting for use after dark. 

This is a dog friendly park - but we ask that pets remain on leash and are cleaned up after. 

History

Englehart's newest playground is affectionately known as the Secret Park, as it is located off King Street at the north end of 6th Street.  Not visible from the main street, this playground is enjoyed for its privacy and separation from traffic making it a relaxing place to watch your children play. 

With lots of open green space, this is the place to start a game of soccer or tag. The Rock Wall and Spider Web are also big hits at this playground, and with lots of beach sand, it's not uncommon to see a variety of sand castles and other sculptures. 

Pack a lunch, and enjoy a picnic at one of the tables, or spread out a blanket on the grass. This is a relaxing space for the whole family to enjoy. 

Located on the East end of 9th and 10th Avenues, this park is also known as the purple park, as the playground equipment is all purple and gold to reflect the colours of the Charlton & Englehart Lion's Club who sponsored this playground and have been serving their communities since 1980.

This playground has both sand and grass, and plenty of seating area for relaxing while the children play. 

This park & playground stretches a whole block along 5th Avenue from 1st to 2nd Street. Not only is this the largest park, but also the oldest. 

In addition to a large playground area, there is also and outdoor basketball court that also doubles for some skateboarding and other activities. 

Beyond the row of mature pines, you'll find a beautiful water fountain and covered event area, both of which were donated by the Rotary Club of Englehart. 

On the North West end of the park, you'll find the Community Garden which is planted and maintained by the Englehart Girl Guides. Everyone is welcome to enjoy the fruits and vegetables that you find growing there. 

Directly across from the Englehart Lee Pool, this is the park to be at before heading over for your afternoon swim!
