How cool is this!? Allard Park in Brunswick East has a playground and a mini pump track to enjoy!

The gravel pump track loop is perfect for small or new riders, with a wide track, little hills and rubber tires to help keep everyone in their lane. It’s right next to the playground so the kids go from playing to riding, to playing again without mamma having to get up from her seat.

If you forget your bike or are not yet riding one, you can pretend to ride on one of the 2 bike rockers in the playground! There’s also a swing set, a nest swing, rainbow balancing logs and merry go round that you can spin yourself on.

The main play structure here has monkey bars attached, a vertical rope climbing frame, rope tunnel, fireman’s pole, shop front and 2 slides to choose from. It’s a good size for young primary and preschool climbers. Older kids might prefer to bring a ball to kick around on the oval.

There’s a few seating options including normal benches, a wide square bench and tables and chairs. A drinking tap can be found near the tables and a toilet across the oval, behind the pavilion. The park also has plenty of trees to help create some shade at times.
