This awesome and incredibly unique play space re-opened late last year with a very cool new addition - a GINORMOUS millipede structure! It’s huge enough that you can climb through it and was built (incorporating some ideas from surveyed local kids) using materials like recycled truck and crane parts.

We love dropping by for a play here while at CERES - the play equipment’s construction using recycled industrial objects makes it a spot like no other. You won’t find any plastic at this ‘soil’ themed play space but you will spot beetles and bugs, a multilevel sandpit, a hive-shaped mud cubby, steep rocky banks with a tree house built from old tyres with pulleys for climbing and heaps of nature play elements. There’s also nearby seating, toilets and cafes.

Mamma's special mentions: CERES is one of Mamma's all time fave places to visit with the kids in Melbourne. As well as the play space there are two cafes, an organic grocery shop, a nursery, a weekly Makers and Flea Market (Saturdays) and so many chickens to visit - there’s heaps to do here!
