Find it at: Mott Terrace, Seacliff Park

The Susan Grace Benny Reserve in Seacliff Park is a really nice little playground and it’s FULLY FENCED! Yay! The playground is on Mott Terrace in Seacliff Park and it’s worth checking out the great history of Susan Grace Benny as her story is really interesting (she married her cousin, had 5 children, worked in politics, argued for equality of divorce for women, fought for the allocation of land for playgrounds around Brighton, and re-married a man 20 years younger than her.)

Anyway, here are some of the playground’s great features:

  • Large grassed area, ideal for kids to play games, kick the footy or for you to set up shade cover for a party
  • Fully fenced playground with 2 gates
  • Low play equipment, ideal for toddlers
  • Monkey bars and other high equipment is hard for toddlers to get to, but great for older kids (perfect!)
  • There are no toilets at the reserve
  • The playground isn’t shaded with shade sails, but there is a lovely tree inside the playground to rest, breastfeed, park the pram or enjoy a snack
  • There is no allocated carpark BUT there is plenty of street parking around the reserve, and it’s a very quiet area
Great low and high playing options
A lovely shadey tree to sit under
A small slide and climb set
The regulation swing set, of course!

  • Blamey Reserve

    Find it at: Kooralla Grove, Kidman Park What a great little park this one is. With a fantastic range of play equipment, including some reasonably challenging climbing equipment to a playground with an enclosed twirly slide, this has something for most ages. It even has a heap of outdoor gym equipment but lets be honest, apart from sitting on the ski swingy one, nobody has ever used any of it....or is that just us? No toilets is the only let down here, but it has a BBQ, seating, a mix of toddler and traditional swings, several slides and is a really beautiful spot. There is no fencing but the river is about 100m away and it is in a nice quiet back street so you shouldn't have many issues.

  • Knightsbridge Reserve Leabrook

    Find it at: Phillip Avenue, Leabrook This quaint little neighbourhood playground is nestled in the quiet suburb of Leabrook and the was upgraded in 2024. Fully fenced and whilst there is no shade provided, the playground is situated under some beautiful big old gum trees that do provide some protection from the sun. There are also a few smaller trees around the edge off the grassed area that provide small amounts of shade for those wanting a small picnic space . This park is more suitable for toddlers. Unfortunately no toilets or BBQ facilities are located in this park. Thanks for City of Burnside of the images.
