/Don’t let this playground fool you, walking past you may think the kids will only have a quick play here but trust Mamma, they will want to stay a while!
There’s a two tower structure that is connected by a large rope climbing frame and is full of fun additions, such as fire poles on each end, noughts and crosses, steering wheel, binoculars, a shop front, tunnel and an open twisty slide.
Then there’s the ninja course that even the big kids will love. Start by crossing the wobbly bridge and then swinging your way across the rope handles. Next climb up the robe ladder, but watch out, it can swing and you’ll need to climb back down the other side as well. Cross the floating foot steps and carefully side step along the balancing rope. Mamma and her crew love seeing who can finish the course the fastest!
You can also test your balancing skills on a wobbly surfboard, sit in a wobble police car or enjoy the set of swings. If you have a ball with you, head across to the large grassed area next to the playground where there’s a soccer goal to use!
There’s tables and chairs here for Mamma to rest, and it's a great spot to enjoy the view of the beautiful tall trees lining Edgar’s creek trail. The path along Edgar’s Creek is a great way to get here by foot, bike or scooter, otherwise you can drive and access the park where Thomas Street meets Travers street.
Mamma's special mention: If you’re looking for a fun family adventure, grab your kids bikes or scooters and head out for a ride along Edgar’s Creek, there’s more playgrounds to stop at for a play including Main Street Reserve and Symon Crescent Playground
