The playground structure was actually damaged in a number of places including the top of the slide which had some sharp plastic pieces protruding from it. I sincerely hope it can be repaired or replaced as it would be a shame to simply remove it completely. My son really enjoyed playing there last night. We had never been to Bancroft Park before. I have a goal to take my son to each City park, so we were able to cross another one off last night. We'll definitely be back to explore more.

I will say though that in our 30 minutes there exploring the park and trails, we saw two different couples light up joints out in the open. They didn't even take a discrete walk in the woods, but rather were just sitting around the playground area (while kids were around). The City may want to consider more patrols through there in the future.
