main street recreation reserve playground, thomastown
/Mamma just loves an outing to this play space, there is just so much for the kids to do here!
Mamma’s little ones always run to the giant climbing web first! Not sure if it’s the climbing they love more or the massive slide at the top that takes them back down, either way they go up and down over and over again! There’s also 3 other slides to choose from in this playground. A double slide for tandem racing and a slide attached to a fort. The fort has a shop front, telescope and a fire mans pole as well.
You’ll also find a set of swings, including one with an all abilities seat, a nest swing, a 4 person seesaw, mini trampoline, spinner disk, wobble bridge and a double flying fox with different seat options, one all abilities and one disc. There’s a nice mix of natural elements within this play space for the kids to get amongst including giant rocks and tree stumps, a golden sun moth sundial designed as a social meeting place and half basketball court.
The play space has paths throughout, making it easy to navigate with prams and a few entry points depending on how you want to get here. It’s accessible from the Edgars Creek walking/biking trial, making it a great spot to stop if making your way along there on foot or bike. Otherwise there is access from Gardenia Rd if you drive. Mamma suggests, if you do drive, it is worthwhile to take the small walk along the path from the playground, beyond the trees to check out Edgar’s Creek.
Two tables with seats and a drinking fountain can be found under a huge shady cover with access to a BBQ, and public toilets on the other side of the oval. Just what you need to spend a few hours of fun here!
