karkarook park, heatherton

Karkarook park playground has had a makeover and she is looking LOVELY! With its green and brown colour scheme, the revamped equipment beautifully blends into the natural surroundings of the parkland it sits on. 

The new play space has all the classics including slides, swings, climbing nets, monkey bars and bridge - there’s even a community library and book exchange box too! 

It’s easy to spend the good part of a day here, with Karkarook’s many walking trails, observation deck, bbq facilities and lake (byo fishing rod and kayak… no seriously!). 

Mamma suggests heading to the Dragonfly carpark right off Fairchild st for proximity to the playground and picnic/bbq areas. Keep in mind there are no bins available on site as Karkarook has a “carry in carry out” rubbish policy, so make sure to bring a bag or two.
