Located at the 100-acre Creditview Sandalwood Park
(10510 Creditview Park, Creditview Road and Sandalwood Parkway)
Opened to the public in Spring 2018, the Creditview Activity Hub is a first-of-its-kind in Ontario and fully Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) compliant. It is fully accessible for individuals with physical, mental and emotional challenges and disabilities. The Activity Hub is themed with a water-cycle idea, colour-coordinated with educational signage, and includes a splash pad, bounce wall, four-square and hopscotch, swings, climbers, slides, sand tables, and a sway ship (wheelchair accessible).

Did you know?
- There are no underground drainage sewers in the park. All water drainage is handled by utilizing Low Impact Development (LID) technology and best practices. This helps the environmental footprint of the park, as all rainwater and drainage infiltrates naturally back into the ground, rather than being piped into the sewer system.
- Water from the splash pad is captured in a “nature pond” which is recycled to irrigate the adjacent soccer fields. This reduces overall water consumption and provides an environment-friendly design to reuse any water.
- Approximately 2,500 trees and shrubs are planted throughout the park. More than 500 have been planted in partnership with the Credit Valley Conservation Authority to provide a naturalized environment, improve biodiversity, improve storm water quality, and prevent erosion.
