On the way back from Berrima, we decided to make a quick stop in Wollongong. A friend had found this playground on Google Maps — Stuart Park in North Wollongong, rated 4.5 — and figured it’d be a nice leg-stretch before the rest of the drive home. We had no idea what we were actually […]
Markham Reserve Playground
If you’re after a fully fenced, all-ages playground just around the corner from Chadstone Shopping Centre, Markham Reserve Playground in Ashburton is one of the best in Melbourne’s east. It’s big enough to fill a whole afternoon, varied enough for toddlers through to tweens, and close enough to a train station that you don’t need […]
The Hills District All Abilities Playground
We at last arrived to the well-known “Little Bee Park” (The Hills District All Abilities Playground) this week — a place I’d wanted to visit for a long time. As soon as my child turned one, I can still remember how difficult it was to locate a decent playground. It felt like opening a mystery […]
Thornleigh Brickpit Playground
We took the kids out to the Thornleigh Brickpit Playground this afternoon. Honestly, you can see everyone is thrilled. It was crowded upon our arrival — and there isn’t much shade yet, so I expect it to get hot and sticky during summer — but how about everything else? Very good. This aquatic play area […]
North Road Foreshore Reserve Playground
Melbourne’s weather has been perfect lately—pleasantly warm as in summer, yet accompanied by the mild autumn sun that doesn’t burn. Perfect beach days. If you have children, it really is the perfect moment to go directly to the seaside. The playground at the very end of North Road? That’s North Road Reserve Playground. Honestly, I […]

Carss Park Playground
Carss Park Playground is a hidden gem for families in Sydney’s south. It’s so close to our home, but every time we come here it feels like a mini holiday. We were planning to go for a coastal walk today, but the wind coming straight from Antarctica was way too strong and freezing — honestly […]
Minta Hilltop Fantasy Playground
Should you ever be in Berwick, make sure not to miss the Minta Hilltop Fantasy Playground. Honestly, this place is a rare find. It’s hard to believe a place this magical is merely a short turn off the main road, yet here it stands—as if you’ve stepped into a real-life storybook. We discovered it not […]
Bicentennial Park Playground
I drove an hour just to bring my little one here, so you know I was serious about playground hunting! After arriving Bicentennial Park Playground, the first thing that catches your eye is the huge hill slide. It’s a little old, but it’s still so much fun. The playground is spacious with plenty to do, […]
Eltham North Adventure Playground
Winters in Melbourne can be tricky—showers of rain pop up without warning. That is the reason the Eltham North Adventure Playground such a wonderful spot. The slides and swings are all under cover, so even if it rains, the kids can still play. The BBQ spot also has shelters, with plenty of barbecues available, which […]
