Mundy Pond Park

Mundy Pond Park is located at 60 Blackler Avenue.

This area is home to the Canadian Tire Jumpstart Playground that opened in 2022 and will also include the new community centre replacing the H.G.R. Mews Community Centre.

Canadian Tire Jumpstart Playground:

At over 11,000 square feet, this is the largest inclusive play space in St. John’s welcoming kids of all abilities to play.

The new play space was built using universal design principles and with input from the City’s Inclusion Advisory Committee. From double-wide ramps to barrier and transfer-free equipment, it is thoughtfully designed to accommodate physical, cognitive and sensory disabilities.

Some of the unique features include:

• Poured-in-place rubber surfacing allowing for a barrier-free transition from pathways to play area.
• A collection of musical instruments providing auditory stimulation.
• We-Saw: An updated version of a seesaw designed for ease of use for kids of all abilities.
• We-Go-Round™: A merry-go-round designed so that children using mobility devices can wheel right in.
• Cozy Dome: A special climber and get away place for children who want a break from all the sights and sounds of the playground.

The playground equipment and rubber surfacing, valued at approximately $1 million, was funded by Jumpstart with the generous support of Tim Price and Family, who have donated to the national efforts of Jumpstart’s Inclusive Play Project.
