Poppet Head Park

The old mining gear gives this place a character you won’t find at your average suburban playground — it’s Kitchener through and through. Right on Cessnock St, it ties into the area’s coal heritage in a way that actually means something if you grew up around here. Wheelchair accessible throughout, so everyone in the family can get around without hassle. The Khartoum Hotel is basically next door, which is handy when the kids have worn you out.
