Have you ever wanted to play inside a castle? Well, at De Chene Reserve Playground in Coburg, you can!
Parks like this bring Mamma right back to her own childhood of running up and down the boardwalks and paying tiggy with our buddies. Mind you, we NEVER had a slide this wide or this shiny! De Chene Reserve is tucked in, off the busy Bell Street and the kids will love the castle design.
Enter via the draw bridge or climb the wall using the chain to the towers. There are stairs and ladders to help you navigate the two slides, one very long or a wide slide you could go on with a friend! Below the castle are hiding spots to explore, a funhouse mirror, a clock and a play shop.
Set among the trees and shrubs with Merri Creek running behind it, De Chene Reserve Playground is a lovely spot to visit. There is also a seesaw, two sets of swings and a sandpit with a digger. A few picnic tables and a water fountain for refuelling after a play can also be found here.
Although the playground feels quite hidden, getting here is easy! De Chene Reserve car park is a short stroll uphill from the playground and is accessible via Urqhart Street. There is also a bus and tram stop on the main roads nearby.
There’s plenty of nature play with a sand pit and trails nearby. So grab the crew, have a stroll along the Merri Creek Trail and have a play at this little beauty.

Looking for a coffee fix or a bite to eat on the way home? The Glass Den café is right nearby and it’s kiddo AND doggo friendly! The food is nearly too beautiful to eat!
