There is a moon crater, a moon worm, rockets, a space ship etc. Boo loved the mini rockets and the music making areas. The place is spotless and very well maintained - and lots to entertain for hours! There is an area at the back that has some information and learning areas about plants. Try pushing the button on the rocket! All in all we had a ball here and wish this was near our house as boo loved it! Check out the pictures to see her smiling face! There is a Liberty swing and toilets and a big car park.

Then I remember that it's a free world and disapproving looks from the more mature members of the grown-up community does not prevent me from having a jolly good time on what has to be one of the most fantastic playgrounds in suburbia. It has everything. Everything. Wobbly things, running things, things to stick your head into and get it stuck, swings, slides, bridges, flying foxes and other general obstacles. I can only imagine how brilliant a game of tiggy would be (but at night, so as not to injure small bodies with my own lumbering clumsy one). Built by a team of parents, friends and workers, this playground is a wonderful gift to children, child-minders and child-minded alike. A great way to spend an afternoon in the sun, or even the gloom.

That is shattered a little when you see the boarded up hole where the slide used to be but other than that it's a pretty well kept playground. It's sponsored by mitre ten and the whole thing is wooden. I was really impressed by the safety of the whole thing and all the hidden nooks and crannies under the built part. There is a cutout section where you can pose like you are driving a big freight liner and a train you can pretend to drive. They do have a Liberty swing here too for children in wheelchairs which is an awesome idea. Highly recommend a visit here if you are in the area with kidlets.

Kingston Heath boasts one of the longest flying foxes I've seen outside of a supervised adventure camp - easily double the average length. It's also got a cool spider web thing, and the whole playground is spread over a large area which makes a game of tiggy brilliant (and very helpful for keeping squabbling kids apart). There's even a spinning tea cup. Some sheltered areas, and some nice places to sit and chat if running around like a madman isn't your thing.

There are several different mazes: a beautiful, quite difficult hedge maze, a formal maze, an easy maze for little kids, several puzzle mazes with color-coded rules for moving about, and, my favorite, a hillbilly maze made from old mattress-springs. Interspersed among these are woodcarvings of wombats, kangaroos, and the like. Then there is the tube-slide down a steep grassy slope: basic but surprisingly fun. We had meant to stop in briefly on our way to the coast, but ended up spending several happy hours here.

They have plenty of mazes, tree surfing, tube slides and a 3d indoor maze. Normal entry included everything except for the tree surfing. We went through all the different mazes and the most fun part of the trip were the tube slides. They have 4 giant slides where you need to lug a donut up a hill but it is well worth it. The 3d maze was a bit scary for me but most of the kids didn't seem too fazed! I really really wanted to try the tree surfing but as we arrived a bit later to this place, it was fully booked!!! I will be back to try that and the tube slides again.

King Parade Playground has recently been re-vamped and all the equipment is brand new. It is a…read moremodest playground but it has plenty of grassy areas surrounding it and is great for kicking a ball around or any game requiring serious room. It borders both King Parade and Norma Crescent South in Knoxfield, as it is located on empty blocks of land on a suburban street. It also acts as a useful cut through between these streets- well, for me anyway. Small green plants and large rocks line the footpath on either end of the park - kids seem to enjoy jumping from rock to rock. I have never seen the park particularly busy which is always a nice thing - it means you don't ever really have to wait for someone else to finish with a piece of equipment. It has two swings - one baby and one adult size. There are also two wooden park benches to sit on that face the playground. These are perfectly placed for any adults supervising their kids. When it rains the park gets really muddy and slushy. You will get mud splashes on your clothes if you walk across it when it is like this, so if you're using it as a cut through only I would definitely avoid using it on wet days. Otherwise it is a pretty good playground and park. I happily recommend it.
