mckinnon reserve playground, mckinnon
Mamma loves a good playground upgrade! And WOW - this one is quite incredible!
Keeping very much in touch with nature, you will find heaps of trees, plants and wooden equipment. Such as a cubbyhouse/shopfront, a giant tree-house leading up to the huge slide, a mini-petrol station, see-saw, 5 poster swing set and wooden beams spread throughout the playground to sit on.
Mamma’s crew have never come across a petrol pump at a playground before, so this was a big hit!
Also proving popular were both of the tree-houses. One is the climbing tower leading up to two giant slides, and the other is built around the ultimate large climbing tree. This has a double smaller slide attached.
There is also a seriously cool obstacle/warrior-type climbing frame, rock-climbing walls, two zip-liners - one seated with a strap for the littler ones, spinning climbing nets, and lots of climbing rocks and space for imaginative play.
With BBQ facilities, tables and lots of grass - this is the perfect place for a family picnic! Oh - and YES! There are toilets!
note - the slide is better suited for older children, it is quite large for little bodies.
