The new Lionel Watts Playground

I was in two minds about visiting the new Lionel Watts Playground. I have really lovely memories of visiting the old playground with my kids when they were little. But we finally got around to visiting it. I’m not sure how I feel about this playground. The old one was so lovely, with mostly wooden […]

The brand new St Ives Showground Playground

The new St Ives Showground Playground

Apparently the new St Ives Showground Playground is the biggest playground in the Ku-ring-gai council…. now that is quite some claim! We had to go and see it for ourselves. So back to St Ives, the suburb of our initial arrival. It’s so lovely to be back on the leafy North Shore. And to hear […]

Billarong Reserve Playground

There are a lot of playgrounds around Narrabeen Lakes but the most natural of these and currently our favourite is Billarong Reserve Playground. Billarong Reserve Playground used to be the most popular of the three playgrounds but with the introduction of the new Tramsheds playground it has taken a back seat. I like that it’s […]

Pirrama Park Playground

Pirrama Park Playground

Over a year ago a friend of mine suggested the kids and I visit Pirrama Park Playground. It’s now almost 2 years at time of publication. I’m sorry I’m so slow! I can’t believe it took us so long to get to it! It was a great suggestion, what a surprising little playground. Pirrama Park […]

I don’t know if it is the great cast, the hilarious performance, the gorgeous setting or the audience engagement that makes it […]

The great New Artarmon Reserve Playground

There is a great great new Artarmon playground in the Artarmon Reserve. Set over two levels it’s really big and has a lot of lovely features. The only downside is that it isn’t really an all-inclusive playground which we have come to expect of good playgrounds in Sydney. We were lucky enough to be invited […]

Waitara Park Playground

This post is all about new Waitara Park Playground, the inclusive enclosed playground on Sydney’s north shore. It’s so good to see so many playgrounds that are being improved to make them accessible and enjoyable for kids of all abilities. The most exciting thing about this playground, aside from its accessibility has to be the […]

Parsley Bay Playground, Vaucluse

The new parsley bay playground is really lovely in that it just fits in with the area. The way it’s been built, the equipment that has been included and the colouring of it all is just lovely.

The Ian Potter Garden at Centennial Park
