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 […]

Waitara Park Playground

It lived up to […]

James Meehan Playground, Dee Why

James Meehan Playground James Meehan Playground  is hidden under some big trees close to the Dee Why Lagoon. While it is visible from the road and from the big council car park I hadn’t examined it until recently.  The Playground isn’t new but it’s lovely albeit a little tired. It’s also so quiet now that […]

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 […]
