The learn to ride mini streetscape is located on the western platform at the Railway Lands
The design replicates elements of typical traffic settings, providing young riders, skaters and scooters with realistic learning scenarios. It features roundabouts, speed bumps, crossings and parking areas to help children learn how to navigate traffic environments safely.
Forming part of a larger plan for the area, which designs for a great nature playground to follow, this is a fantastic facility for those down in the Mount. The ‘Choo Choo Train Nature Playground’ concept is inspired by the former use of the site as a rail corridor. It includes a train head and driving experience, platform climbing tower, slides, music play, seesaw, basket swing, teepee structure, climbing wall and carriage tunnel.

As we mentioned, it is fully fenced – as it’s right next to a lake, this is super important so even the grassy reserve next door is fenced.
