Whilst this playground is compacted into a small area it has some great play equipment for the kids and it is attached to an oval so lots of space to kick the footy, dance around or just run and be free.
The fully fenced play ground features a swing set with baby swing, a sea saw, a mini merry go round and some bouncy animals for the toddlers.
For the primary school age kids there are 2 suitable play pieces . An awesome climbing wall shaped like a pirate ship, great for not only climbing but also imaginative play. The main bigger piece of equipment features a few climbing pieces including a fireman pole and a rope net along with 3 slippery dips including a double one. Underneath the kids will find a little shop area with a counter that also allows imaginative play.
The reserve also has a tennis court you can use and does have toilets. As the reserve is used for a local sports group the toilets were in the club rooms so when we were there the toilets were not open so I wouldn’t rely on them. Something else to keep in mind is that the local school utilises this reserve over lunch time during school term so busy if visiting with younger children during this time.( we arrived just as the kids had arrived) Unfortunately there is no shade area over the play area. There is a couple of seats under the trees you can use to sit done and watch the kids play outside the fenced area.
A nice clean and tidy local playground. In need of a coffee there is a local coffee shop on the corner of the street you can use.
Find it at: Darwin St Genelg North This local reserve located just off Anzac Highway has a fabulous "Outback" theme playground equipment that gives the kids a great place to use there imaginations when playing. This playground has lots of pieces of equipment for kids to climb up and over and through. It includes a small slippery dip, bridge for climbing over ,swing set including baby swing and I love how they have used an old water tank to create the outback theme that the kids can play in. There are couple of little themed bouncy pieces of equipment for the toddlers along with a huge grassed area to run some energy off. It also has wheelchair access. This reserve has BBQ facilities with undercover tables. However NO toilets, NO fence or No shade for the playground area. A nice little spot for a quick play if in the area. Closest coffee is either Jetty Road Glenelg with lots of café options or Coffee Time on Tapley's Hill Road.
First thing you notice when you pull up to this reserve is the brightly coloured modern play equipment along with the huge grassed area. Whilst the play equipment isn’t huge it has been well thought out to cater for a few different ages. The toddlers and smaller children can enjoy the swings which include a baby swing, slippery dip, bouncy ladybird and small climbing wall. The bigger kids can use the giant climbing spider web that sits a little away from the the play equipment or even enjoy a game of noughts and crosses which can be found on the play equipment. Once everyone has had enough of the equipment there is plenty of grassed area to run around on, kick balls or just enjoy a family picnic . There is also a tennis court as part of the Golflands reserve. Whilst the area near the play equipment has a fence the entire reserve isn’t totally fenced off. Unfortunately there is no shade over the play equipment but several trees you could utilise to sit under for shade if you stopped for a picnic or BBQ . In need of a coffee .. closest would be Mc Café on…
