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. Grab yourself a coffee and a book, then take the kids to burn off some energy!
Some of the features we noted included;
- Heaps of parking at the shopping centre car park
- Sheltered picnic table
- Play equipment (including toddler swing, slide, swing set and some climbing equipment)
- Seating
- Large open space
- Toilets at the shopping centre
- 2 BBQs
We also think rolling on the grass hill would be a great way to tire the kids out!

Find it at: Stanley Street, Glengowie This one will have your little crew buzzing (little bee humour there...you will see why in the pics), with this bee hive themed playground. This has jumped straight into some of our favourite playgrounds, with some very unique pieces of play equipment and a real commitment to the bee theme (even if the ride on bees do look sort of like they will appear in your nightmares at some point) Lots of shade, no toilets sadly but it is fully fenced (except for a walkway spot). We found there to be fairly limited parking and there was a BBQ. Our little ones had an absolute ball here, with so much to explore and really immerse themselves in the theme. They will actually bee-lieve they are in a hive (sorry last bee pun....promise), especially when they visit the honey shop. It is quite a beautiful little space and one of those little hidden gems you may come across and just love. This could have been another bog standard run of the mill back street playground but they have turned into something quite special.

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.
