With a few upgrades, mainly for younger children, it could get there. It's a massive space with netball court, tennis court, soccer field with goals PLUS playgrounds, bike paths and a skate park. The skate park is pretty goos and a little bigger than some others around. It has a better run off area and lots more space for people to watch. Plus a rail and half pipes and the usual skating stuff. Could be used by skaters, riders, boarders and bladers alike. There was a small playground but it would only keep my child occupied for about 5 minutes. There were also a few chairs around the place, some shade and a drinking fountain. There is a proper big old brick toilet block on one side of the park which was fine to use. Take a few balls and your portable BBQ and you could have a really nice day out here. Plenty of parking close by. But I would expect it would be really busy during sport seasons.

This is quite a good set up. There's a decent playground, plus BBQs, plus sheltered table/chairs,…read moreplus a drinking fountain (unheard of for Mitcham Council!), plus table/chairs in the open under the trees, plus toilets, plus a skate park! And yet, I haven't given it a five star review? Other five star review playgrounds have had more equipment, and this one is just a little lacking, but still good. Some shade sails over the equipment would have definitely got it five stars. Great place! *Dogs allowed (on leash)*

Karinya Reserve is tucked behind shady trees amidst a greenery haven. Nestled along Shepherds Hill…read moreRoad, this is a fantastic and large playground for the whole family! You'll find your usual suspects here, swings, slides, a little action tower with a pirate telescope and large roller Tic Tac Toe game. They are only better though, with long slides to glide down and lots of climbing bars for the kids to have hours of fun. Large area to kick a ball or chase the kids. My favourite bit is there is a short bushwalk trail within the playground compund, take the kids and spot termites and ants hills, and look out for chirping birds. This is a perfect place to host your child's birthday party as there is an electric barbeque facility, a shade seating area and plenty of benches. Parking is plentiful, so no worries there! Next to the playground is a skateboard ramp and a soccer field. Put this one in your 'Favourite Playgrounds' folder.

This is an alright playground. Better than others in the area. Probably because it shares the same…read morepiece of land as the Christie Downs Community Centre. It's also right near the Christie Downs Train Station so is an easy way to kill a little time if you have to wait for a train or to let the kids have a run around when you get off one It has a huge grassed area where you can play pretty much anything. There's a couple of gazebo area's and plenty of trees around the outer of the park for shade. There is an area where kids can play soccer or hockey with a goal there. Behind it there is an area for skateboards with a quite small and basic skateboarding "run" with some drops and slide spots. The playground equipment is not a lot but it is newer stuff and is a little different to most playgrounds. There is still a slide, there's a merry go round type thing and some balancing type equipment and a massive climbing structure that looks like a huge spider web. Kids seem to be able to climb over it for hours. So a good mix of activities for older and younger children at this one. Plus dogs are allowed AND they even have a doggy bag stand so people can keep it clean. There's plenty of parking nearby as well.
