What a way to bring in 2023, with a brand-spanking new re-vamp playground. Whittlesea Public Gardens is HUGE! The wooden structure has been designed to give kids of all ages a challenge.
The main playground is a whopping five levels high with ladders and ropes along the way. Make it to the top and use the speaker to chat with your friends below. Then slide your way down the GIANT slide. The second play space is smaller and perfect for the littlest of adventurers. You’ll find soft foam surfaces around the place too, making it super safe.
Whittlesea Public Gardens also includes a flying fox, a trampoline, and climbing ropes. There is a ropes course, wooden cross-over beams and challenging bridges to cross. There is also a ‘learn-to-ride’ track, so don’t forget your bike, scooter or skates!
The park also includes a water tap and toilets which is a big tick Mamma thinks. Follow the pathway around the large man-made lake, spot some water birds and then head over the Hume Highway overpass for something different. We even spotted some gym equipment and a basketball court near the car park.
You are going to want to prepare for this park before visiting. Bring a picnic and some snags for a BBQ. There are picnic tables are covered, keeping you right out of the sun. Don’t forget a hat on warmer days. Although there are trees almost everywhere, the park is still pretty new and many trees around the playground are still small, limiting shade while the kids play.
the nitty gritty
BBQ facilities- large shelters - picnic tables - public toilet - free parking - pram and wheelchair accessible.
Mamma special mention: There is still a lot Mamma needs to discover about Lalor but if you are wanting something to eat before a play, head over to our Eats page and find something on the way.
