Not a bad little backstreet playground for the locals to spend some time at, but some upgrades (Toilets!) would certainly be handy. Shade is great and there is plenty of grassed area to run around/fly a kite/lay on the grass and stare at the clouds. Couple of slides, swings and some climbing equipment which suits the 3 years + crowd. No BBQs but a little bit of seating for the adults was much nicer than sitting in the bark.
Some people had their dogs off leashes on the grass when we were there so be wary if that is an issue for you.
Find it at: George Street, Marion The City of Marion have opened up yet another fabulous playground (they are really setting the standard aren't they), this time a spacious playground at George Street. With an in-ground trampoline, swing, sandpit, water pump and 2 historical-themed cubby houses, including a village store and a workers cottage, this one is really cool. There’s also a miniature fire pole, slide and logs to jump on and an upgraded 3-on-3 basketball and netball court. There's plenty of space (the oval and footy goals are just fantastic) for your doggo to run around, as well as a sheltered BBQ area. Oh and did we mention there are toilets? Because there are! We really enjoyed this one and there was plenty for our older boys to climb and swing around on, whilst also offering enough to keep the young ones entertained.
Find it at: Ray Street, Findon Ray Street Reserve in Findon is a great little neighbourhood reserve and playground located at the rear of the Findon Shopping Centre and Findon Library.
