Here is a great fresh playground with something for kids of all ages including at least four separate climbing opportunities.
Set in a quiet suburban street, Don Klaebe is not fully fenced, but feels safe and is definitely worth diverting a little out of your way for a play if you are in the west.
Adjacent the baseball club, there is ample access to a big semi fenced lawn if you want to bring the dog, kite or footy.
For the little people, we love that it is not busy here. We love the steps up to the toddler slide with handrails and we love the sturdy modern toddler swings.
For bigger kids 3yo+ we love the bridge you cross to get to the funky slide, we love the many climbing opportunities and the HUGE nest swing.
For older kids again, there are free tennis courts and a basketball ring.
And our highlight was definitely the car / buggy.
There are no toilets on site, but you will find a drink fountain, bin and afternoon shade thanks to some large gum trees.
No tables / permanent shade.
Hi jacki. I just thought I’d give you an update about the playground for Don Klaede Reserve, ITS NOT SAFE!!!!!! I don’t know how long ago you wrote about it, but I stand by my comments. Last Thursday my son and his friends went there for the first time. They were costing a friend in the findon area. They were set upon by about 10 African appearing kids and their ring leader was, apparently a white 13-14 yr old who chanted ESHAY and called them niggers before attacking the kids. The victims were all 11 and 12 yr olds, and the youngest assailant being about 8 yrs old. The children were assaulted that day with one having his jaw dislocated. Adults who were at the park did nothing.!!!!!! These kids were traumatised. They could not fight back because of how young one of the assailants were, and the fact that they were out number by almost 3 to 1. DO NOT LET YOUR KIDS GO TO THIS RESERVE. ITS NOT SAFE. I also have to stress that the victims said that every thing was fine with all the African looking kids, they were friendly till that 13- 14 yr old feral piece of shit came along and things became scary. He was an ESHAY gang member
