Mamma loves a good residential playground and Hurlingham park is a GREAT one.

With a main wooden climbing structure (complete with turrets!) at its heart, Hurlingham offers up all the playground classics that kids love.

There are slides, swings and monkey bars for the traditionalists and a flying fox, climbing wall and 4-way seesaw for those who want to get the blood pumping a bit more.

The playground doesn’t just cater to the kids’ needs though. With a dedicated carpark, ample benches for sitting and shade sails over most of the play spaces - this mamma was one happy camper!

It is worth noting however, that the playground includes a few chain link bridges and climbing ladders more appropriate for older kids so a little bit of hovering was involved when mamma’s 2 year old was let loose.

Right next to the playground is a fully fenced oval and undercover bbq area so the bring the four legged family members along as well and make an afternoon of it.
