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 […]

Warriewood Rocket Playground 

Warriewood Rocket Playground  I had seen so many pictures of Warriewood Rocket Playground, so many. I’ve also read so many people talking about it in Facebook but I wasn’t sure whether it would meet expectations. Well, I am glad to say that I was wrong – Warriewood Rocket Playground is great! It lived up to […]

Newport Beach Playground 

Newport Beach Playground The Newport Beach Playground is now a decent enclosed playground!  This playground has had a complete overhaul in the last year, making it one of the nicest along the Northern Beaches beachfronts. 

Jacka Park in Freshwater

Jack Park Playground in Freshwater  I’ve driven past Jacka Park a hundred thousand times. I’ve driven past slowly, round and round the block examining it but never tempted taking the kids because I saw that there wasn’t a fence. On one of these circuits my kids saw the park and I was sunk – the […]

Manly Lagoon Reserve Playground

Manly Lagoon Playground Manly Lagoon Playground is a completely fenced playground with separate playing areas for different ages. There is parking alongside it and a lovely view of the lagoon.   It’s a nice playground to visit after a day at the beach, a ride along the lagoon or as an isolated outing. We happened […]

Passmore Reserve, A popular North Manly Playground

Passmore Reserve Playground, North Manly  Passmore Reserve in North Manly has been around for 17 years and is a favourite of many Northern Beaches mums but it is very well hidden.     If you weren’t told about it or have a husband who plays golf you would probably not know that it exists.    I […]

Corbett Playground in Manly Vale 

Corbett Playground What a fantastic surprise. Corbett Playground wasn’t recommended to me nor had I even heard of it before, I found it by way of Google and hoped it would turn out to be worth the drive.  It was an absolutely fantastic surprise! 

North Curl Curl Lagoon with kids

North Curl Curl Lagoon with kids I didn’t realise that North Curl Curl Lagoon was such a good place to visit with kids. We live nearby and I had noticed a few people walking and cycling along the lagoon on the beach side but I didn’t realise it extended so far. It’s not as pretty […]

Walter Gors Park, Dee Why

The Brand New Walter Gors Park and Playground    Last week the Brand New Walter Gors Park opened in Dee Why. As it’s the middle of school holidays we’ve been waiting for a quiet day to visit but it does not seem this new playground will get quiet any time soon.   Park or Playground […]

Collaroy Beach Playground [UPDATED]

Collaroy Beach Playground may just be the best beach playground on the Northern Beaches. I literally can’t think of one I prefer more than this one. While Manly Beach Playground and Little Manly Beach Playground are in fantastic locations, they’re not as good in terms of the play equipment. There are so many positives to […]
