Find it at: Mermaid Street, Seaford Medows
This one could just about be more of a lawn appreciation post because the lawn at this brand spanking new playground in the heart of the Seaford Meadows new development, is quite simply sensational! Hats off to whoever is in charge of the maintenance because it is 10/10….you could almost play a Test Match just about!
Now the playground itself thankfully is also really good, with equipment for the young and older kids (although the flying fox is rather high….might be for the REAL big kids this one!) We love a good climbing rope tower, which is always fun for the parents to try and race the kids to the top, as well as a swing disc (just named it….big swing circle thing) which are always fun. The trees are still growing so not a lot of natural shade, but there is some seated shade but it would be quite hot here in summer thats for sure. No toilets either sadly but a fantastic picnic spot (No BBQ or water fountain either sadly). Parking is easy enough on the side streets and it isn’t fenced, but the streets are quite quiet so no massive issues there.
All in all a really nice space here, with enough to cater for families of most ages. The lush grassed space is an absolute winner and you would expect this to be really popular for park parties with the locals.

If your kids love a playground with a bit of a story to it, put this little bee-themed gem on your list! 🐝 Stanley Street Reserve has been cleverly designed around the world of native bees, with a giant hive-inspired climbing structure, bee sculptures, a pretend honey shop and hidden bee-themed details for kids to discover. It’s not a huge playground, but there’s plenty packed in, and younger kids in particular can have a great time exploring all the little spaces. A lovely local spot for a play when you want somewhere a little different. Find it at: 48 Stanley Street, Glengowrie. Good for: Toddlers through to primary-aged kids, particularly children who enjoy climbing, imaginative play and exploring. Best for: The bee-themed climbing structure, slides, swings, imaginative play and discovering all the little bee details around the playground. Toilets: No. The nearest public toilets are at Da Costa Reserve and Hazelmere Road Reserve, approximately 1km away. Shade: Yes. There are shade sails over the playground, with shaded seating nearby. Fenced: Yes, with a small opening behind the picnic shelter leading towards the tennis court. Accessible: Partly. There is an accessible merry-go-round and accessible access to this area, but the bark-chip…

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: Norman Street, St Marys A beautiful little spot this one, located near the Kenilworth Football Club at St marys (gates go through to the ground). There is an extensive water garden, BBQs, seating and tables plus a water fountain too which is very handy. Lots of green space for general muck around/ball play and good climbing trees to boot. The playground is perfect for the under 8s, with nature play the theme here. Enough climbing, log and rock hopping, with a nice looking playground set up including climbing equipment and a little slide. There is a gravel path suitable for bikes or strollers that laps the entire park but.....no toilets, fencing and no shade (apart from the trees).
