curtain square, carlton north
/This park ticks all of Mamma's playground 'fun requirement' boxes - with green open space, gorgeous mature trees, a variety of places to play - including a playground for the little tots, the bigger kids and another swing section, some hoops to play netball or b ball, toilets and close by to the lovely Rathdowne St to grab a coffee, have a browse and grab some lunch. Mamma (and the kids) also love the handcrafted totem poles covered in carved animals and the other creative touches that make this place special.
Mamma's special mention: The Carlton Library is right across the road so grab some books on your way home.
