Well isn’t this a little bit sensational! The new playground at The Paddocks Reserve is OPEN and we must say, this is one of the best new playgrounds we have come across in a while, with some pretty spectacular pieces of equipment to keep the kids busy for ages!

With access best via Maxwell Road, there is so much to talk about here its hard to know where to start. We have to start off with the Interactive Play and Sound Arch, which we haven’t seen before but was just brilliant. Throw in some sand and water play, 2 MASSIVE climbing structures, a flying fox and plenty of space to run around and play. What a spot!

Don’t forget the sporting fields with netball courts, football oval and an uninterrupted lawn expanse with a number of soccer pitches, cricket pitches and nets. Such a fabulous facility for the locals.

This one is a work in progress with plenty planned for the future (Toilets are coming!!) which is so exciting for the northerners.

It really has it all this one, with a junior playground and flying fox, as well as a really fun ninja course for the older kids. Don't forget to pack the bikes, scooters and balls to use on the scooter/pump track and basketball court! We loved the space and the choice of equipment for the older kids to climb and jump around on. The climbing logs are massive, just like climbing on the stumps of a giant oak tree! The ninja course is absolutely fantastic and a real challenge even for the fittest kids. No toilets here sadly and it isn't fenced, but it is a quiet backstreet so shouldn't cause too many issues. A little water fountain has been installed and some of the equipment is shaded, but there is a lot exposed to the sun as well. Leave the meat at home because there is no BBQ either and only a small shaded seating area, but it would be a great spot for…
