What’s better for a kids birthday party than a playground located in a beautiful parkland by a river? There is ample parking, amenities nearby, natural shade, and loads of grassy spaces surrounding the playground - there’s even a fire pit area that you could gather around!
Then there’s the playground itself…here we go!
Amongst the gum trees, you will first notice a pair of nests high in the sky with twisty twirly pipe slides pouring down from the top of the towers. This is an adventurers playspace - your big kids will have to ascend the ropes to get into the nest, then balance across a netted beam to make it to the second bundle of sticks from which the tallest pipe slide begins. Wheeee!
Back on the ground, there are swings, rock climbing, music making devices, spinners and twisters, stepping stumps and a massive campfire.
From here, pass through ‘Wind Country’ to find a giant sand play area fit-out with hammock, wooden balance beam, scoops, buckets and pulleys. Flat rocks separate this space from the neighbouring ‘Water Country’ rainwater pump - perfect for a little splash, or making soggy sand pies. This area is a magnet for little legs - they won’t want to leave!
Mamma LOVES this nature playground. It is shady, peaceful, tranquil and FUN! And it is informative too - read the poles dotted about and learn about the practices and beliefs of the Traditional Owners of Wurundjeri Country.
the nitty gritty
carpark - toilets - naturally shaded (mostly) - no stairs (accessible for prams and wheelchairs) - wide slides for all abilities
