Nestled in the middle of the tranquil Roth Hetherington Reserve, this playground feels like a child’s oasis amongst the native botanical gardens.

Though not fenced, this little gem is far away from any roads and feels completely safe - even better? The undercover bbq and modern toilet block (including change table) are all but a few steps away!

Decked out with a number of playground classics, a massive highlight was the musical instrument equipment that got a walloping from both sets of little hands.

Mamma’s kidlets also loved exploring the reserve itself, with huge garden beds featuring local flora from each state and territory, a bridge “to fight trolls on” and hidden trails to discover and get lost in. If you’ve got some keen little bird watchers in the family, look out for the Tawny Frogmouths that frequent the area.
