Find it at: Tiranna Way, West Lakes.
Talk about location, location, location! We often forget we have an incredible lake over at West Lakes which provides some of the most beautiful scenery in town. This is a spectacular spot which if you visit on a nice day like we did, will make you feel like you are on holiday at some sort of fancy resort.
There were a lot of things we loved about this one. The view of course. Obviously! But we loved the sandy beach and the little diggers (lovely surprise they were!), the shade sails were fantastic, the grassed area is great for a picnic or a lay down on a towel plus there is a bike track around the lake to top off the visit! Perfect.
A few things to note though, it isn’t fenced. A big issue with the nearby water so take note of that. Coffee (very important detail) is highly recommended from ‘Old Habits’ at the end of the road. There are toilets thankfully but no BBQ areas, which is a bit odd as it is THE perfect BBQ spot. Bring a rug too as there is hardly any seating.
The playground is big enough to keep the kids entertained for a while and is probably more for the under 10 crowd, with swings, slides and a reasonable amount of different equipment throughout. Nothing too special on the playground equipment side, but the view more than makes up for it!

Find it at: Military Road, Tenyson Oarsman Reserve West Lakes is located on the lakeshore on Military Road, West Lakes Located on the Lake ( so comes with quite a nice view ) this park is great for a broader range of ages. Arriving at the playground you instantly get splashed with an array of colour and excitement looking at this play equipment and what it has to offer the kids. From lots of climbing pieces, 3 colourful slides, a mini merry go round, a swing set including nest swing, a BIG orange car and lots of grassed area to run around on, this playground is a winner with the big and small kids The climbing cube seems to be a hit with the older kids as it has high and low ropes with a mini rock climbing wall on the ends. The little ones loved the orange car , the slides ,the merry go round and the little touch elements scattered around the equipment. This playground has car parking, BBQs with shelter and toilets but Unfortunately this playground doesn't have shade or is NOT fenced in. You need to mindful it has a main road on one side of…

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.
